I am a student new to learning ParaView. I have a .dat file that was exported from Tecplot, but I want to open it in ParaView. When I import it, ParaView crashes. Can someone help me? Below is some information from my .dat file:

Google drive link：.dat file
Welcome to ParaView, @Xiu!
I am able to open this file in ParaView 5.13.0-RC1 on macOS, but I get two warnings:
Warning: In vtkTecplotReader.cxx, line 1942
vtkTecplotReader (0x7f965178c9a0): /Users/cory.local/Desktop/test.dat; Tecplot zone record parameter 'STRANDID' is currently unsupported.
Warning: In vtkTecplotReader.cxx, line 1948
vtkTecplotReader (0x7f965178c9a0): /Users/cory.local/Desktop/test.dat; Tecplot zone record parameter 'SOLUTIONTIME' is currently unsupported.
Also, the geometry looks like this
which looks like either points or cell ordering information is being read wrong.
Would you mind opening an issue at gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview?
