My workflow is to have ANSYS Fluent 2021R2 write Ensight Case Gold files that i then post-process in paraview. I could successfully do this before with a different simulation (the ANSYS Fluent version and paraview version are remained the same), but for some reason, when i try to open my *.case file with this simulation, Paraview 5.10.1 spits out this error.
I am running a parallelized version of paraview but this error is also given when i run paraview on a single core. After doing some digging online, several people have encountered this issue. I have also applied the fixes to the encase/case file described in this thread.

If i write the same Ensight file but in ASCII (as is an option that ANSYS Fluent provides), i can successfully open it. I prefer the file in binary because it’s smaller and will potentially open up faster.
the same issue over here. I followed the recommended procedure with Ensight-Gold Format for two simple and small cases and it worked OK. However, when I attempted to import results of a larger Steady-State CHT analysis I encountered the same issues.

I have the same problem, any help? Here it is my .case file Q_1-11.case (3.4 KB)
I have already modified my file by removing any quotes and by removing the last two line.
The only thing I can say is that these files come from Ansys Fluent and I did 2 different extrapolation of encase gold file:
-The first one: I did the simulation in Fluent and after the calculation i went to File->Export-> Solution Data…, in the window that opens after selecting solution data i select File Type:EnSight Case Gold, Location:Node, Format: ASCII. With this routine I obtained .case, .geo, .scl, .vel, ecc. and if I load the .case file in paraview there is no problem in the load.
-The second one: Before doing the simulation I went to File->Export->During Calculation->Solution Data… and in the window that opens I selected the same as before. With this routine I obtain the same files but these are referred to each time steps.
So, where could be the problem? Why the .case file is read in the first case and not in the second one? When I load the .case file I have to select something else beacuse the .case is referred to each time steps?
Thanks anyway
