I wanted to know if it is possible to export data into .plt (TECPLOT) or .encas (ENSIGHT) format after I have manipulated it (i.e. computed new quantities in calculators, created slices, etc…). The reason for this is that I often encounter myself working with engineers that use these other visualization softwares and working in the same data formats would be extremely helpful. I was wondering if there are any approach or pluggings that could help me to export my ParaView data into these formats. Thank you in advance!

File-\>SaveData let you write Unstructured Grid in .case (EnSight) format.

It works! Thanks, I just had to convert my structured data into unstructured by using mergeblocks, now I can save in EnSight format 🙂
