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>

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>
