[Paraview] VTK EnSight Gold reader issue

[Adriano Gagliardi]

Dear All,

I have been having trouble reading in an Ensight file (just the .case and
.geo) with ParaView. When I try to read it in I get the following error
message:

ERROR: In
/usr/people/gagliard/Paraview/FILES/ParaView3/VTK/IO/vtkEnSightGoldBinaryRea
der.cxx, line 2475
vtkEnSightGoldBinaryReader (0x15d2ffb0): Invalid number of unstructured
points read; check that ByteOrder is set correctly.


ERROR: In
/usr/people/gagliard/Paraview/FILES/ParaView3/VTK/IO/vtkEnSightReader.cxx,
line 386
vtkEnSightGoldBinaryReader (0x15d2ffb0): error reading geometry file

The mesh is approximately 70 million cells and is about 2.2Gb in size. It
reads in fine using the in-house format we routinely use. I notice the error
message asking to check if the ByteOrder has been set correctly, which I am
assuming is in the EnSight file itself as you can select this via the object
browser anymore. Would this solve the problem, or is something else the
matter here?

Regards,

Adriano
