Appending Ansys EnSight Software Case Files

Why does Ansys EnSightâ„¢ simulation data visualization software terminate when reading parallel case files with the option APPENDED_CASEFILES?

When appending a large number of Ansys EnSight tool case files with the section APPENDED_CASEFILES, Ansys EnSight software can terminate immediately and print the message:
Warning: QObject::~QObject: Timers cannot be stopped from another thread to its command prompt. This might not be visible at all when starting Ansys EnSight software from a desktop shortcut.

To resolve the problem switch to the Multiple Case File Format (MCF) which uses a very similar structure as the APPENDED_CASEFILES section. See Ansys EnSight Software User Manual, chapter 9.18. Multiple Case File Format for details about the content of the MCF file format:
