[Paraview] Apply Tecplot table format file (.dat)

Thu Sep 21 13:23:22 EDT 2017

Hi all,

I created the Tecplot table data importer a while ago. As the tecplot file format is very flexible, it is impossible to create a reader that caters to all possibilities (without knowledge on how the format can be used). So, the residuals.dat file is an example that our simulation code writes and that is readable by Tecplot (and now also ParaView). Its reader is based on the CSV reader that existed already. Currently, the VARIABLES must be on one line and the data needs to be in the same number of columns and the VARIABLES. Otherwise, as you experienced, it won't work.

You're more than welcome to expand the support for more ways in which the format can be used. Just be sure that the residuals.dat file can still be read ;-)

All the best,
Menno

Hello

Please keep the discussion in the mailing list so everyone can contribute.

Your dataset (OJF_Out-SPECIES.DAT) does not seem to have the right Tecplot format.
Please take a look to this tecplot .dat file (residuals.dat) , wich can be opened with ParaView flawlessly.
You may try to correct your file manually or correct the way it was generated.

Best,

Mathieu Westphal

Hi,

I attached the data set. When I hit the apply button, Paraview just get stopped. And the error message says the program does not respond.
Thank you.

Hi,

I loaded Tecplot table format file and when I hit the apply button, the error appears.
And then the program get stopped.
Let me know what should I do to solve this problem.
