                          ERROR - HDF Error occurred! / Error in writing compressed file

                          Authored by Caleb Scharf January 5th, 2024 2712 views 0 likes KB2353452

                          ERROR

                          When saving a file in Fluent (File > Write > case and data) you get the following error:

                          Error: HDF Error occurred! at IO\Hdf\src\Hdfile_impl.hpp:151 during a call to HDF5 library function H5Fcreate
                          Error Object: #f
                          Warning: Error in writing compressed file “[file path].cas.gz”Done.

                          Software & Version

                          Fluent 2023R2

                          *This example was taken from this version but is not necessarily limited to this version.

                          Description/Cause

                          The user did not have the correct permissions in the directory they were saving to.  In this case, the Network Share and NTFS permissions were the cause.

                          Solution

                          1. Verify that the user has the correct network share/file system permissions to save and modify files in the directory they are saving to.
