KNOWN ISSUE: CFD-Post fails to read a Fluent file if a cell zone name is the same as a fluid name


SYMPTOM:
A Fluent cas/dat file fails to read into CFD-Post with an error such as:

ERROR
Parent of new object ('/SCALAR VARIABLE:/DATA READER/CASE:Case <case name>/DOMAIN:<fluid name>.Mass Flow') does not exist in the database.

PROBLEM:
This error occurs when
a) the case has more than one fluid, but no multiphase model enabled (e.g. because each fluid is present in a different cell zone), and
b) one of the fluid names is the same as one of the cell zone names.

WORKAROUND:
No workaround is currently available. To avoid the problem choose names for the fluids which are not the same as the names of the cell zones.

FIXED IN:
ANSYS CFX Release 12.1.
