[Paraview] Paraview 3.1.0 - ensight gold problem

[Adrian Magda]

Hi Samuel

Thanks a lot for your answer.

Both hex8 and quad4 store temperature as cell data. You are right the quad4
elements
are overlaying the hex8 surface.

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 ?

For you all this works without problem ?

All the best
Adrian
