Any suggestions for importing Fluent or Patran CFD Data?

Hello,

depends on how you are using vtk. I use it with Visual C++, and then it is noe
problem writing a import routine that reads eg. Patran, and adds the data to a
unstructured grid. I have in import reader for Ansys-format, and that is not
complicated at all.
