[Nek5000-users] Something wrong when visualizing fld files with Visit...

Is there a specific reason to dump your data in ASCII?

It is highly recommend to use the BINARY format!
Check param(66) and param(67) in your .rea file.

ASCII: values < 0 e.g param(66) = -1
BINARY: values >0 e.g. param(66) = 1

Also make sure the your .usr does not overwrite this setting.

Hth,

When I modify the metadata file to start with the fld file which looks corrupted, it's image looks fine in Visit (although the time data is missing..) and all the following images look corrupted. What could be the problem?
