I did not make the connection with this issue, I’m glad we fixed it then.
f there was a way to read in ANSYS Fluent “.dat.h5” files (they are HDF files and i have opened them up with h5py in python before) and get all the rich functionality that paraview has for more native format, i think it would seal the deal for most CFD-post users i know to switch over. Currently, the workflow for us Fluent users is to export the solution in the Ensight Case Gold format for use in paraview. This is fine but here’s to hoping more work can be made on the fluent post-processing end.
As with everything ParaView, we need someone or company to contribute to this implementation, either by contributing time (and code) or money (through Kitware services). You can read more about it here:
That being said, the first step to find that is talking about it, as you just did, second step would be to open an issue on gitlab for the feature: https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues
