Hi,

I'm trying to read an EnSight .case file into paraview, but I get the
following error message:

ERROR: In /tmp/Kitware/ParaView3/VTK/IO/vtkEnSightGoldBinaryReader.cxx, line
242 vtkEnSightGoldBinaryReader (0x164df40): Invalid part id; check that
ByteOrder is set correctly.

ERROR: In /tmp/Kitware/ParaView3/VTK/IO/vtkEnSightReader.cxx, line 304
vtkEnSightGoldBinaryReader (0x164df40): error reading geometry file

ERROR: In /tmp/Kitware/ParaView3/VTK/Filtering/vtkExecutive.cxx, line 757
vtkCompositeDataPipeline (0x1576f40): Algorithm
vtkEnSightGoldBinaryReader(0x164df40) returned failure for request:
vtkInformation (0x1100ce0)
Debug: Off
Modified Time: 106010
Reference Count: 1
Registered Events: (none)
Request: REQUEST_DATA
FROM_OUTPUT_PORT: 0
ALGORITHM_AFTER_FORWARD: 1

The EnSight reader works fine with a sample file, just not with the data I
have (the difference might be that the sample file is a regular ensight
file, and mine is ensight gold). Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam:

The error message is now on line 259, vtkEnSightGoldBinaryReader.cxx (as
of the version of May 14, 2009), as opposed to line 242 that you report.
Does it mean that you are using an out-dated version of the reader? Please
update your ParaView/VTK (at least class vtkEnSightGoldBinaryReader) with
the latest version. If the problem still occur, please provide your whole
dataset and the procedure used to re-produce the bug via Mantis (
http://paraview.org/Bug/my_view_page.php). Before that, please make sure
your data files comply with EnSight formats.

Please note that VTK/ParaView supports both 'regular' and Gold EnSight
files.

Thanks.

Hi Adam:

Below is some excerpted info (courtesy of Ricardo Reis) on how to check
EnSight file formats using 'ens_checker'.

===excerption====
In this links you (and everyone else) can find the program ens_checker which
checks if your files are properly formated for the ensight layout. It checks
for binary and ASCII files. ens_checker.32 is for 32 bit platforms,
ens_checker.64 for 64 bit. Linux off course.

http://aero.ist.utl.pt/~rreis/ens_checker.32

http://aero.ist.utl.pt/~rreis/ens_checker.64

hope it can be of use.
just do ./ens_checker.<32/64> filename.case
====end of excerption====
