Hello,  
I’m trying to implement a program that runs some simulation, and the output format is cgns.  
I’m creating this file using the h5py library (HDF5 format) but based on the pyCGNS library.  
Paraview can load the file, and can handle the geometry. However, when I load the file, click in the Point Arrays check box, the Apply button, and try to change the Solid Color for “numerical temperature” this option doesn’t appear. I appreciate if anyone can clear why my file doesn’t work.

Obs.: I use cgnsview to read the files.

File I created (doesn’t seem to work)  
[Results.cgns](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/oo4HTetXdYiguoL22aKFODAoozc.cgns) (1.1 MB)

File that Paraview handles  
[Results.cgns](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/qPIhMzuqTi98ePboe55MU9iUzYe.cgns) (1.0 MB)

If anyone is interested in the code:
