Summary	0000955: Ensight Gold file format with symmetric tensors
Description	The Ensight Gold file format writer for sampled surfaces, write "symmTensor" as a typename in the file. This is not recognized by standard VTKEnsight readers, which required "tensor symm". Paraview is unable to read these files: ======================= ERROR: In /home/.../VTK/IO/vtkEnSightReader.cxx, line 967 vtkEnSightGoldReader (0xb96140): invalid VARIABLE line: symmTensor per node: 1 UPrime2Mean slice.***.UPrime2Mean
Steps To Reproduce	I attached a cavity case, which generates some symmetric tensor fields using icoFoam and functions. Paraview by default gives the abovementioned error message. I added a python script to more easily throw the same error message without using Paraview. The included Allrun script is self-explanatory.
Additional Information	I suspect $FOAM_SRC/sampling/sampledSurface/writers/ensight/ensightSurfaceWriter.C line 92 , but I would expect the same behavior for $FOAM_SRC/fileFormats/sampledSetWriters/ensight.
