Hello. We use Ansys CFX in our work but the
standard post-processor CFD-Post consumes one of
Ansys licenses while Paraview is free. So I often
make pictures for reports with ParaView to preserve
Ansys license for another users/needs (because other
users are not familiar with ParaView and CFD-Post
may consume general "acfd" license feature that may
be used for calculations). I convert CFX results to
EnSight Gold format in CFX Solver Manager (Export
Results) and then open in ParaView. It was working
well on Linux (CentOS 6.7 x64, Ubuntu 12.04 x64 with
updates) but now I work with large files and I need
to use another machine that has 128 GB of RAM and
runs Windows-7 x64.
I downloaded and installed the following version:
ParaView-5.0.0-Qt4-OpenGL2-Windows-64bit.exe
When I open my EnSight-format file I receive the error
message that geometry file cannot be read. I tried to
move EnSight files to a simple location (D:\Temp) and
renamed them (test.case, test.geom + edited the case to
change geometry file name to "simple" one). The same
result, it cannot find geometry file... Full error
message is as follows:

OK, I tried to open it in ParaView 4.3. It says nothing
(only border of the message window appears) and crashes.
At that moment I see in the status bar that EnSight reader
progress is 100%.
