There seem to be a couple other places this support is missing, will add.

Pull Request Overview

This PR enhances PathLike support across the PyFluent codebase by introducing a centralized PathType alias and updating function signatures to accept path-like objects in addition to strings. The changes enable users to pass pathlib.Path objects and other os.PathLike implementations where file paths are expected.

Key changes:

• Added a new types.py module with a centralized PathType alias for path-like objects
• Updated function parameters across multiple modules to accept PathType instead of just strings
• Added os.fspath() calls to convert path-like objects to strings when interfacing with underlying APIs
