<DIV>They are handle everything as far as I know. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Fluent Version 6.3 has polyhedral meshes, and I don't support that yet in this reader. I have requested some test data from Fluent. When I get the test data I will add the polyhedral mesh stuff in.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The MFIX reader handles all of their data types. I still need modify this reader so it adheres to the VTK coding standard. I will use KWStyle to check it. I used KWStyle for the fluent reader and it worked great.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
