      There is a third party defect with the h5fopen_f function with MPI / HDF5 ( version 1.10.1 ), which affects Fluent 2020 R1. This defect triggers file locking, making files inaccessible and causing the error. The fix will appear in Fluent 2021 R1, which uses a newer HDF5 version. The workaround is to an environment variable that disables file locking: export HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING=”FALSE” The command needed may vary for each OS/shell. The value “FALSE” has to be capitalized. Double quotes may be optional,(ie: for C Shell)
