Hello FEAP users,
I am running a FEAP v8.3 on Windows and I am trying to get FEAP output to be read by Paraview. I updated the version of the umacr9.f routine and I am using the pview macro that generates a .vtu file.
When I am importing the output file in Paraview I get the error:
 "Cannot read points arrays from Points in piece 0. The data array in the element may be too short"

and If I check in the "Informations" sections for the file I see that no. of Cells = 0, no. of Points = 0, Memory = 0 MB, no Data Arrays and Not available X and Y ranges.

Attached the file

You only have 32 coordinate values in Points, but the header says the problem has 3 components per node and it says you have 16 nodes.  So you should have 48 coordinate values.  Check your umacr9.f by putting in some debugging prints to see why one of the three values is incorrect.
