Hello,

I hope this is the right place to ask. I work with Ansys Fluent and I would like to use ParaView to plot a pressure contour that averages over multiple time step/auto save files.

Is this possible?

Many thanks

It should work however there seems to be some issues with the fluent series reader. Feel free to open an issue: [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues)

- run ParaView
- File → Open → round\_carling\_new\_ansys\_version-1-00025.cas\*, Apply
- Show data evolving over time

But as I said, it is NOT working because of a bug in the fluent series reader.
