A case file does not contain any geometry or variables, but it points to the
files that do. When you load a case file in ParaView, the corresponding
geometry and variable files are loaded as a result. For your data set, you
should be able to load file.encas into ParaView. Doing this will cause your
geometry (file.geo) and variable (file.vel and file.scl1) files to be read as
well. ParaView does not know how to load EnSight geometry or variable files
apart from the case file, so if you try to load them separately, nothing should
be displayed.<br>

<br>
I’m still having problems loading the Ensight files. From the
Fluent manual this is what it says about exporting the Ensight data files:<br>
<br>
</span></font><font size=2><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>EnSight Case Gold <br>
There are four files: <br>
<br>
A geometry file (e.g., file.geo) containing the coordinates and connectivity
information. <br>
<br>
A velocity file (e.g., file.vel) containing the velocity. <br>
<br>
A scalar file (e.g., file.scl1) for each selected variable or function. <br>
<br>
An EnSight case file (e.g., file.encas) that contains details about the other
exported files. <br>
You can specify the file Format as Binary or ASCII. The advantage of the binary
format is that it takes less time to load the exported files into EnSight. You
can specify the scalars you want in the Functions to Write list. <br>
<br>
file/export/ensight-gold file-name list-of-scalars q yes|no <br>
<br>
<font color=navy><span style='color:navy'> <br>
These are the exact four files with the same extensions that I have. I have now
managed to load the .encas file but when I load the other files nothing
displays. When I click on Information they all say: Type – unknown, 0
bytes, 0 points, 0 cells.<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

</span></font> <br>
Let's keep this on the ParaView mailing list.<br>
<br>
Are you saying that when you load the .encas file the entire data set loads
properly or that there are no errors in the .encas file itself? To open
an EnSight data set, ParaView expects you to load a case file (an ASCII file
that points to geometry and variable files), so if you try to load geometry
(.geo) or variable (.vel and .scl1, in your data set) files directly instead of
loading a case file, I would not expect ParaView to know what to do. Also
ParaView may have trouble with the .encas file extension (assuming this is your
case file) since it expects EnSight case files to have the extension .case.<br>

I have an .encas file which has loaded fine but it’s the .vel .geo .scl1
files which cause it to crash. I have looked the Ensight website which
talks about exporting the files from Fluent <br>
<a href="http://www.ensight.com/FAQ/faq.0019.html" eudora=autourl>http://www.ensight.com/FAQ/faq.0019.html</a><br>
and it seems like the files are exported with these extensions,<br>

Hi Teresa,<br>
<br>
Is your <font size=2><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>G:/Fluent/ensight-vel-mag.vel
file an EnSight case file? They usually have the file extension
.case. If you have a file with the .case extension for this data set, try
loading it instead of the .vel one.<br>
<br>
