Best third party post processor for Fluent?
 
We are adding a Fluent capability to our existing CFX capability. We are interested in third party post processors. Any recommendations?

Thanks

Ensight is a powerful tool.

Ah Ensight ... I have used it for other applications.

Does it support fluent output files natively or do you need to license appropriate import filters?

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have wondered if ParaView would accept fluent output. I've never tried though.

Fluent exports to Ensight format without any trouble, and this is readable (obviously) by both Ensight and Paraview. Paraview visualisation works very well, but its shortcoming is that it is far from easy to get quantitative output, such as a table of a temperature or velocity profile.

You may try CFX-Post in order to look at Fluent results.
