[Paraview] Ensight and FLUENT

[Nathanael Inkson]

Hi, 
  I have used the fluent reader quite a bit. Basically the face zone
information is completely ignored. The way that the Ensight reader
handles fluid zones is to treat them as extra cell blocks. This could
also been done with the Fluent reader with a small amount of extra code.
I might do this sometime in the future, given enough time. However, I'm
very busy at the moment! I have partially done it though. So I will
follow up on this soon.

I too have the problem of crashes though. If I load a multiblock fluent
file, merge the blocks and then use a filter. The problem is the
datasets are too large to replicate the problem simply.

Best Regards

I don't know the Fluent format well so excuse my ignorance. Does the
Fluent format specify surfaces as separate parts/zones? It sounds like
the reader does not allow you to import them, correct?

As for the Ensight crash problems. Please send us example files that
demonstrate the crashes so that we can track them down.
