Sources - Sphere Calculator Attribute Mode: Point Data Operation: 'coords', save as e.g. 'velocity' or any other name with at least one trailing 'y' Save File in Exodus II format.
Load this file. There is a variable named 'velocit'.
Use a hex editor to confirm that Exodus writer did a proper job. There are strings named 'velocityX', 'velocityY' and 'velocityZ'. Use a hex editor to confirm it is a Exodus II reader problem and manipulate the field names in the binary file: change the strings 'velocityX', 'velocityY' and 'velocityZ' to e.g. 'velocitaX', 'velocitaY' and 'velocitaZ'. Load the file into ParaView. There will be a variable named 'velocita'.
Holds for Cell Data as well. Apply Point Data to Cell Data before saving to confirm. Does not hold for scalar-valued data.
Verified with ParaView 3.6.1 (local server, XP) and ParaView CVS as of today (local server, Linux 32 bit).
