problem opening vtk (precision)

Dear all,

I had a problem in opening a vtk results file with paraview and I found out that it was related to the precision of the vtk.

In fact, in the first few lines there was an improbable -3.643557e-40 among the coordinates (it was a z coordinate of a point), which was causing troubles. To solve the problem, I substitute it with 0.

I suggest to put a threshold in the output, i.e. if the level is below say 1e-14 it should become automatically 0.

Cheers,

Matteo
