[Paraview] Just Learning Paraview

[Peter Brady]

Are you trying to use paraview to generate a geometry and run a CFD
simulation on it?  I'm afraid paraview is a visualization package, not
a CFD package.  If you're looking for a CFD package you could try
OpenFoam as it is open source, or you could roll your own if you've
got lots of time.
