ENSIGHT_MESH_RDONLY_DRIVER fail to read .geo file (EOF)

I wanted to convert directly ensight file to med file. 

The meshDriver is not able to read geo file written in Ensight Gold Binary Standard. 

I read it with paraview (insode SALOME env.) and it works great. It also works with customised python script ensightMedEnsight_test.py

Can somebody tell me why this code does not work with my .geo file (see attachment) ?

There is an expected EOF and it fails at countPartsBinary.

I am using SALOME 6.5.0-WIN32-DEV-DEBUG

Thanks in advance.

Here is the trace :

Hello Tomas

I explored your file and found that it was not read because of 2 excess bytes, at the end of .geo file, being non-conformal with Binary C format. If you remove them, I hope you will be able to convert your file.

Don't use ensight2med convertor, it works OK only if the file includes fields and it crashes if there is only a mesh in the file.

Best regards

Edward

Thanks for your answer.

Ensight file is coming from another software so I can't remove the last two bytes. I didn't know how to make in C/C++ so I remove the last two bytes from my file with : 

'tail -c 2 star00000.geo > star00000new.geo" in linux then change the name of geom file in .case.

It's not working and it's not working anymore in paraview.

I have a few questions :

- How did you noticed that there were two unwanted bytes ?

- Why is it possible to import 'Non conformal" Ensight C Binary File in Paraview ? If you have an idea...

I attached a main.cpp (piece of ensight2med program). 

Regards,

Thomas
