Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has any advice on exporting unsteady particle data from fluent to be read into ParaView.
The options for exporting particle data from fluent are CFD-Post (.xml), Ensight Format (This doesn’t work for unsteady according to Fluent Documentation), and Fieldview (.fvp).
Regards,
Jon

Hi Roberts, I have this same question, have you been able to find an answer? I have searched all over and have not been able to.

No unfortunately I have not.
Instead I export the solution data to ensight format to open in paraview and then visualise the particles using an isovolume of particle concentration (this is for a large number of particles so seeing the individual particles is not that important).
