Do we know where this file came from? I'm not expert on this file format, but looking inside I noted that it seemed inconsistent. I can get PyFluent to read the file if I adjust it to be consistent.

I updated line 12 as follows:

<CurrentSimulation class="string" value="LINK:_24R1_mixer-ran-Solve/"/>

@seanpearsonuk this file was from one of our ACE colleagues. He just created the Parametric study from case. Here is the case file for your reference.

Hi @tejalprabhu01 this might be something about how the project file is being generated by Fluent - the file does not seem internally consistent. Hence I modified it to get it to work. I will follow up on the Fluent side.

Hi @tejalprabhu01 please request the ACE engineer to provide relevant Fluent team with the defect report. Essentially, his workflow needs to show how to get Fluent to generate the internally inconsistent project file. I was not able to reproduce the same issue in Fluent by initializing a new project.

ok. Thanks for looking into it. Thanks @seanpearsonuk
