<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks Andy. I’m hearing of numerous issues like thus, trying to wrap my head around same.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let’s start with a few questions. Where is the .pvtm file format documented? Google doesn’t know... Next, why have two redundant file formats? One should be deprecated. Why can Catalyst write this file format? And last, of course,
why can’t ParaView read it?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The .pvtm is the same as the .vtm file, just a redundant file extension. Really, the .vtm format is parallel/partition aware where as the other .vt* extensions have a partitioned .pvt* format.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'm a bit surprised that PV doesn't associate the .pvtm file with multiblock datasets. If you try to read in a .pvtm file though you just need to properly associate it with the XML multiblock data reader.<o:p></o:p></p>
