[Paraview] velocity arrows and stream lines from Fluent .cas and .dat file

[Dieter Froning]

dear Carla,

we exported the data from Fluent in "Ensight Gold" data format.
Paraviews expects the suffix *.case.encas.
I admit that it were not the streamlines what we looked at.
You have to take care to write binary Ensight files, the other types
cannot be read by Paraview (situation from 2012).

The data should be recognized as multi block structures, i.e. the
geometric structures is kept. The blocks of the multi block structure
are the zones and surfaces from the Fluent case.

It may become confusing for very complex structures because the blocks
are not ordered alphabetically but maybe according to the
Fluent-internal data structure.

Good luck!
