Hi guys, I was on the road all day.
The inlet looks pretty horrible. This is probably due to bad cell quality. Please send me your case. Having a look at what happened here will be very valuable.
Regarding the Surface LIC in Paraview, I have not checked the newest version. My experience with Paraview is that you always need multiple versions installed as in every version there are features that stop working (that is why MWFlow currently needs two versions). Maybe this time Surface LIC is affected. But surface LIC depends on a good quality mesh as well. So maybe both of your issues are related.
