Hello Elaine, your message made me realize I haven't dealt with the FIDAP format in a long time! FIDAP was the first CFD solver I've ever used...
Which brings me to the unfortunate consequence: the FDNEUT writer was written in the early days when there was no concept of CellEntityIds array in vmtkmeshwriter. So, while the writer produces a valid FDNEUT mesh, it doesn't take into account the entity information. It shouldn't be hard to extend the writer with the FDNEUT specs at hand. May I ask why you need the mesh in FDNEUT format? If it's not for using the FIDAP solver (which must have been abandoned for about ten years now) but for importing into, say, Gambit, then there might be other ways of getting there, through other formats that VTK supports.
