Paraview Tecplot reader doesn't map variables onto X,Y,Z coordinates

Hi,

I noticed that if I have a tecplot formatted file that has actual physical coordinates(x,y,z), and the first three variable names are "X", "Y", and "Z", then Paraview can read the file just fine. If the variable name list doesn't contain "X","Y", or "Z" though, Paraview completely fails are loading in the data. Nothing gets displayed on the screen because no variables appear to be mapped to Paraview's X,Y,Z axes. Tecplot doesn't seem to have this issue, and the Tecplot data format guide makes so such mention of any requirement to include "X", "Y", or "Z" in the variable names list.

Loads in just fine: test_tecplot_file.dat

Fails to recognize that the first three variables are the axes test_tecplot_file2.dat

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
