Although I think DATASETAUXDATA is read in, I don't believe anything is done with the information in ParaView. It's fairly simple to create a vector though: Equation = "UVar*iHat + VVar*jHat + WVar*kHat" Hope this helps. Cheers, Adriano

The header for the file is shown below: VARIABLES= "x" "y" "z" "rho" "rho-u" "rho-v" "rho-w" "rho-e" DATASETAUXDATA Common.DensityVar="4" DATASETAUXDATA Common.UVar="5" DATASETAUXDATA Common.VVar="6" DATASETAUXDATA Common.WVar="7" DATASETAUXDATA Common.VectorVarsAreVelocity="FALSE" When this file is opened in Tecplot the rho-u, rho-v, rho-w terms are properly identified as vector variables so the magnitude and vectors, and streamlines can be plotted. When the file is opened in Paraview the rho-u, rho-v, rho-w terms are scalars. The magnitude can be calculated with the calculator filter, but I cannot plot vector glyphs or streamlines. Is there any way to re-identify these scalar variables as a vector in Paraview?
