Hi,

I would like to visualize a VOF simulation of water/air realistically. For this purpose, I have set up the process: Simulate in Fluent and save cas/dat -> Import into Paraview and create isosurface and save as stl -> Render in Blender.

This methods works well for low cell counts and single images. However, for larger cell counts (5-10mio), it can take up to a day to produce a single image. Here Paraview is the bottleneck, as reading the cas/dat file takes ages.

Therefore, my question is if it is possible somehow to skip the Paraview step? Ideally, I would like to export a Fluent isosurface as an *.stl file. Or does anyone else have a more efficient method?
