Hi,

I got a code which exports data (LBM) in a very simple format:

---
TITLE=" LBM data"
VARIABLES = "X", "Y", "RHO", "U", "V", "VOR"
 ZONE T = "Z"
 I=  351, J=  122, K=1,  ZONETYPE=ORDERED
 DATAPACKING=POINT
 DT=(SINGLE SINGLE SINGLE SINGLE SINGLE SINGLE)
    1    1  0.000000000000000D+00  0.000000000000000D+00
0.000000000000000D+00  0.000000000000000D+00
    2    1  0.000000000000000D+00  0.000000000000000D+00
0.000000000000000D+00  0.000000000000000D+00
...

The format of point data is: x, y, several scalar data values

I was told this is TecPlot and the guy uses TecPlot for visualization.

I exchanged the format "D+" by "e+" and opened the file with the CVS
version from 03/25/2010.

The file is recognized by the TecPlot reader but the geometry of the
visualization is not correct.

I understand that TecPlot is quite complicated (I saw just the number
of pages in the data format docu).

I assume that it is more easy for me to convert the simple data to a
structure that PV 3.6.2 can read.
What is the most simple PV format for this?

Thanks,

Fabian
