You will have to check with Ansys in order to know the volumetric format they support.

> Hello Kyoshimi, Thanks for the reply. 1a) Could you please attach the state file containing “Contour Filter” as I could not find it from your previous post. Did you export the contour in STL format by loading Fluent data in Ensight Case Gold format? 1b) Also, my requirement is to delete the fluid portion above the iso-surface and to retain the solids as well as fluid below the iso-surface for meshing. I hope the movie that you have attached in the previous post would address it. I will try it…
