🐞 Description of the bug

When trying to build the metapackage for all PyAnsys libraries we are encountering certain issues regarding dependencies with ansys-dpf-post and ansys-fluent-visualization.

Even though the latter is using vtk==9.1.0 (and thus forcing it strictly to a certain vtk version), we were wondering the reason for not allowing it in ansys-dpf-post. This library is explicitly forcing the VTK library to be below 9.1.0 (vtk<9.1.0). Would it be possible to remove this strict requirement?

At the moment, ansys-dpf-post is forcing to use an old version of VTK to the rest of the PyAnsys libraries.

This has been solved after ansys-fluent-visualization relaxing its requirements, but it would be interesting that pydpf-post did not cap the vtk version below 9.1.0. This will affect all other PyAnsys packages. Why is it not possible to handle 9.1.0? Can we do something to solve it?

See here for errors when removing the vtk<9.1.0 limitation.
