Clarification on Supported Element Types for .case and .aedtplt File Formats

[chamanth-vct]

Hi,

In one of the projects I am currently working on, I need to export field results into a specific file format. From the documentation, I noticed that there are two options: .case and .aedtplt file types. At present, I am using the .case format.

However, during a discussion, I received feedback from the Ansys team stating that the .case file format only supports limited element types and does not support higher-order elements (link to the comment).

Request for Information

To proceed with our development and plan the automation code effectively, I would like the following details:

• List of element types supported by the .case file format.
• List of element types not supported by the .case format, especially regarding higher-order elements.
• List of element types supported by the .aedtplt format.
• If file format support varies by application or solver type (e.g., HFSS, Maxwell), please specify the differences.

This information would greatly assist us in selecting the correct file type and optimizing our automation efforts.

Thank you
