Large files in the final python package

[Gryfenfer97]

🤓 Before submitting the issue

• I have visited the Troubleshooting section.
• I have searched among the existing issues.
• I am using a Python virtual environment.
• I am using the latest version of PyMAPDL and its dependencies (fully updated virtual environment). You can update them using pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager ansys-mapdl-core in your activated virtual environment.

🔍 Description of the bug

When I install the ansys-mapdl-core package, there are files in core/example/verif that are tens of megabytes in size (e.g. vm232-2.cdb)

🕵️ Steps To Reproduce

Install the package and check the size of vm232-2.cdb in venv\Lib\site-packages\ansys\mapdl\core\examples\verif

💻 Which Operating System are you using?

@Gryfenfer97 ... you are right. Those files are considered complimentary of the vms. But it is true that most of them can be "rebuilt" from the *.dat files. I should check this first.

Then I think we can remove them, so the package size is smaller.

The files are still part of the package (and installed via the same wheel) - and hence the size of the pymapdl wheel is still larger than it ought to be. I'm reopening until that is addressed
