Hello everyone,

I have .plt from tecplot binary and i am trying to visualize it in Paraview. grid.plt is okay in paraview, it works. But time-000001.plt and other time related does not show in Paraview. I change the name time-000001.plt to something else and now I can see the result in Paraview but it is a mess. The variables are not compatible with the grid and it seems its 2d. I need help about this. Thank you in advance.

Best
