I don't know how many people want to do this, but chances are there is always someone...

So if anyone wants to run a simulation in Fluent and post-process in Paraview, the way that I've found to work is to export the solution data in Ensight format (binary).

Once that's done, you then have to change the extension to ".case" (information I've found scattered over various other treads; didn't discover it myself).

It then opens in Paraview, at least it worked for me.



I tried impoting the .dat files from Fluent,

but one they have loads of default variables I was not interested in, making it a very large file (200mb in my case, which times the number of time steps is a very large size),

and two,
I wasn't sucessful in doing so.

But if anyone is sucessful I'd be interested in knowing.

If anyone has any tips/best practise information I'd be really interested, as I'm new to Paraview.
