[BUG] Reading vtu file - Illegal data type 'String' #1370

Open martinbaun opened 1 year ago

martinbaun commented 1 year ago

Hi, maybe I found a bug while reading a vtu-file with meshio. With

import meshio
mesh = meshio.read('skineffect_0000.vtu')

I get the error "Illegal data type 'String'". The file is from the commercial FEM-tool "FEMAG". It's also possible, that the bug is in the vtu file. But with paraview I can open the file without an error.

meshio==5.3.4

skineffect_0000.zip

Hi, I am having the exact same error for a .vtu file created with a different software, opening well in paraview
