EnSight Binary vs ASCII Format Erroneous Negative Values
 

Has anyone come across an error when importing Fluent data into Paraview using the Ensight format in getting incorrect values? In my case I get negative values of an all positive variable (the absolute value of the u'v' Reynolds stress) when using the Ensight binary format in Fluent. When using the ASCII format, I get the appropriate values. The ASCII values appear as: Attachment 70679

where the binary data gives the following results when the negative values are removed: Attachment 70680

This behavior is consistent for either node or cell centered value exports and exists in the imported values itself, not just the slices. I am unsure which program is causing the issue, but I would like to narrow down the problem if possible.

I posted the same issue on the Paraview forum here: https://discourse.paraview.org/t/ens...ve-values/2107
