[Paraview] Tecplot reader error

Wed Nov 25 12:12:00 EST 2009

Hi Fred:

    Is that convenient for me to have a copy of the whole tecplot file
(including the actual zone data in addition to the zone title)? Then I will
be glad to check the problem by removing the time-series tokens (STRANDID
and TIMESOLUTION) first. There seem to be other tokens indicating some
functionalities that the current simplified reader does not support yet.

    Thanks.
