Hi Samuel<br><br>Thanks a lot for your answer.<br><br>Both hex8 and quad4 store temperature as cell data. You are right the quad4 elements<br>are overlaying the hex8 surface. <br><br>If there is only a visual competition between the display from each part I think that should not effect the inner flow far from the wall no ?
<br><br>For you all this works without problem ?<br><br>All the best<br>Adrian<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/30/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">SamuelKey</b> <<a href="mailto:samuelkey@comcast.net">samuelkey@comcast.net

<br>> exporting i used the included foamToEnsight module.<br>><br>> Last and final try was to check the .case file in ensight8 and none of<br>> the problems mentioned above were noted.<br>><br>><br>> Did anybody else have had such problems ? There is any way around this?
