How to read data from Flow

[ManosAgelidis]

Hi, I have been trying to extract data from Flow by using the snippet below (and similar snippets writing the output of the simulation to the filesystem) provided in the NvFlowEditor app

Unfortunately the file that is written is in binary form. I tried validating it with nanoVBD's nano_validate tool and convert it to OpenVBD format using nanoVBD's nano_convert tool but it fails with

I suppose the reason for the failure is that the file is in binary format. Can you please clarify whether there is a way to programmatically extract data from Flow to use in other applications e.g., in Blender? And if so, what would be the correct pipeline from Flow to the external app? Thanks a lot!
