RES: [Paraview] Problems reading Ensight files

[Amy Squillacote]

Let's keep this on the ParaView mailing list.

Are you saying that when you load the .encas file 
the entire data set loads properly or that there 
are no errors in the .encas file itself?  To open 
an EnSight data set, ParaView expects you to load 
a case file (an ASCII file that points to 
geometry and variable files), so if you try to 
load geometry (.geo) or variable (.vel and .scl1, 
in your data set) files directly instead of 
loading a case file, I would not expect ParaView 
to know what to do.  Also ParaView may have 
trouble with the .encas file extension (assuming 
this is your case file) since it expects EnSight 
case files to have the extension .case.
