Another "experimental data". I was able to load this big case in ParaView viat the CGNS format. It was neccesary to select CGNS 3.0 and HDF5 options in CFX Converter. But when I apply the Extract Block filter I see no any boundaries, only fluid domain (that is displayed OK). So CGNS format is not a wayout...
