[Paraview] Paraview 3.1.0 - ensight gold problem

Hi all Paraview users,

I am using Paraview to plot my cfd results. I am using ensight gold binary
format. I can write and read the data with no problem, but it seems paraview
interprets the things wrong.

The geometry file is divided in two part one containing the internal flow
(hexa8, unstructured)  and a part containing the boundary file  (quad4
unstructured elements).

The problem is that always the temperature on the North wall of my geometry
seems to mixed with data from both hexa8 (first elementh near) the wall and
quad4 element (placed on the hexa8 wall). More if i do a cut trough the
geometry and display the temperature the temperature profile is completely
wrong
On the other hand if i use "Extract Datasets" option i can see the correct
Temperature profile on the inner flow and on the boundary area for each part
separately.
In order to check out more the encounterdproblem i decided to export a
simple OpenFOAM 3d case (20*20*20) (the 2d (in one direction only 1 cell)
works with no probblem) and also i noticed strange things. For exporting i
used the included foamToEnsight module.

Last and final try was to check the .case file in ensight8 and none of the
problems mentioned above were noted.


Did anybody else have had such problems ? There is any way around this?
