[Paraview] TECPLOT Vector Variables

[Adriano Gagliardi]

Although I think DATASETAUXDATA is read in, I don't believe anything is done
with the information in ParaView. It's fairly simple to create a vector
though:
 
Equation = "UVar*iHat + VVar*jHat + WVar*kHat"
 
Hope this helps.
 
Cheers,

Subject: [Paraview] TECPLOT Vector Variables


I've generated an ASCII TECPLOT file with the following variables: x, y, z,
rho, rho-u, rho-v, rho-w, rho-e. The header for the file is shown below: 

VARIABLES= "x" "y" "z" "rho" "rho-u" "rho-v" "rho-w" "rho-e" 
DATASETAUXDATA Common.DensityVar="4" 
DATASETAUXDATA Common.UVar="5" 
DATASETAUXDATA Common.VVar="6" 
DATASETAUXDATA Common.WVar="7" 
DATASETAUXDATA Common.VectorVarsAreVelocity="FALSE" 

When this file is opened in Tecplot the rho-u, rho-v, rho-w terms are
properly identified as vector variables so the magnitude and vectors, and
streamlines can be plotted. 

When the file is opened in Paraview the rho-u, rho-v, rho-w terms are
scalars. The magnitude can be calculated with the calculator filter, but I
cannot plot vector glyphs or streamlines. 

Is there any way to re-identify these scalar variables as a vector in
Paraview?
