  Hi,
  The .cdat file should be saved in the same folder as the case file which produced the data. Then when you read the .cdat file into ANSYS CFD-Post, the associated case file will also be read in automatically. If they are not saved in the same folder, ANSYS CFD-Post will prompt you to specify the appropriate case file.
  Thank you.

  Can you copy both files and rename to remove the brackets? Using any unusual/command characters in the CFD tools tends to cause problems as they were originally UNIX based.
