Reference: ParaView Version 4.3.1 (Q1) Is it intended that ParaView's EnSight reader support non-symmetric 2nd-order tensors? The attached EnSight formatted file set contains two test cases defined on a single 4-node quadrilateral in 3D -- Test Case 1: File fmaego.hist.1st6 designated as "tensor symm per element" This is a symmetric tensor defined with 6 components as (Txx,Tyy,Tzz,Txy,Txz,Tyz) = (1,2,3,4,5,6). Test Case 2: File fmaego.hist.2st9 designated as "tensor asym per element" This is a symmetric tensor defined with 9 components as (Txx,Txy,Txz,Tyx,Tyy,Tyz,Txz,Tzy,Tzz) = (1,4,5,4,2,6,5,6,3) (Test Case 2 follows the EnSight Gold format specification. It also is the Tij component sequence specified in the VTK format for a 2nd-order tensor; the VTK format has no special case for a symmetric tensor.) ParaView Response: With the attached file set, ParaView crashes while reading the case file. An empty message window appears. When the line for Test-2st9 is removed, from the case-file, PV reads the file set without any trouble. (Just so you know, I am a rabid PV supporter, and greatly appreciate the arbitrary n-vertex polyhedral finite element support provided by PV's EnSight reader and displayed by PV.)
