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.

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. -berk On Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 11:22 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi All, > > I have spent some more time to use paraview for FLUENT now with the > latest 3.4.0 I still have problems with import: > > * direct import works fine mostly.
