Multiversion docs are missing #276

The legacy reader was never adapted. We should do this.

Pinging @ansys/pyansys-core - if anybody can take the lead here, great. Otherwise I'll try to find some time (down the road)

germa89 commented 1 year ago

honestly, shall we take the time for that? This library is supposed to in "deprecating" mode. Hence no features are going to be implemented, just fix.

RobPasMue commented 1 year ago

The note on the README currently states:


This module may be depreciated in the future.

You are encouraged to use the new Data Processing Framework (DPF) modules at 
[PyDPF-Core](https://github.com/pyansys/pydpf-core) and [PyDPF-Post](https://github.com/pyansys/pydpf-post)
as they provide a modern interface to Ansys result files using a client/server interface using 
the same software used within Ansys Mechanical, but via a Python client.

Reality is that people are still using it and we continue to do releases. Adapting it to multi-versions would only apply for the last version. I think it might be worth it. It's not that time consuming really. The theme is already up to date, and so are the actions.

If it is quite straight forward -which it should be-, I would add this feature, because this tool might stay for a while.
