Hi, I am exporting fluent results in gold-ensight format to open in paraview. After opening the 3D pipe case in paraview .encase, when i am taking a slice of the pipe cross-section, it is showing the mesh lines even when surface is selected at the top. Is it something to do with exporting from fluent? or can i remove the mesh lines somehow? I have attached the picture. thanks

I think sharing only the .encas file would be sufficient? or will have to zip everything like the .geo, .scli and send it.
[FF\_export.encas](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/uc83Fzgkvb21hQXIz1QwC02Usij.encas) (13.2 KB)
I have shared only the .encas file. Does it work?

The .geo file is needed Im afraid.

For some reason your data contains the faces of hexahedrons as quads, you may be able to fix that in your export, however you can also extract only the hexahedron using “ExtractCellsByType” before the slice.

Hey when i extract cells by type still the effect of the mesh is remaining. I can see the contours along the mesh lines which is a bit absurd. Do you know how can i fix it?
