[Paraview] Issues Opening Tecplot *.dat File(s)

[Zach Davis]

Tuesday, 11 April 2017



All,

I’m encountering a problem in which ParaVIew seems to freeze when attempting to load a Tecplot *.dat file.  An example of a compressed *.dat file that’s causing this issue can be downloaded here <https://pointwiseenterprise.sharefile.com/d-s9ba1e31b97d404c9> (~4.4MB).  I’m using ParaVIew 5.3.0-219-g24f5a44 under macOS 10.12.4.  Note, the file fails to load under ParaView version 4.4 as well.  I’ve compressed the *.dat file with gzip for transmission—please unzip it prior to attempting to reproduce the problem in ParaView.  Uncompressed it's a 16MB file, and shouldn’t take very long to load…  Any ideas what might be the issue?  Is there a problem with the file’s format, or is ParaView the culprit?

Best Regards,
