<div>I would like the reader to read the /fields/Solution group basically, but I am not even sure it tries to do that.</div>
<div>Anyhow, I got an error, saying that the size found in the file (105) does not match the expected size (25300). If I look at the shape of /fields/Solution it is given as (21, 5030, 5). First, it is weird, cause the 21 seems to be 1 + current iteration
 number ... but anyways we find the 5 variables and the 5030 cells. Only the reader seems to do 21 * 5 when it should be doing 5030 * 5 ...</div>
<div>I tried adding 'PetscViewerHDF5PushGroup(hdf5Viewer, "/fields/Solution", ierr)' to force it to read that group, but it does not change anything.</div>
</div>
</div>

</div>
<div>You definitely need to push the group, unless it's the root group "/". There is no way the reader would guess the correct group if it's not the root one [and I don't think it would be a good idea to implement such searching].</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you tried adding</div>
<div>  PetscViewerHDF5PushGroup(hdf5Viewer, "/fields/Solution", ierr)</div>
<div>you likely pushed a wrong group. If the Vec name was set to "Solution" like in your snippet [using PetscObjectSetName()], the absolute dataset name to look up would be "/fields/Solution/Solution".</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But in your file, there's just a dataset "/fields/Solution", so its parent group is just "/fields". So please try pushing this.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would gladly try to reproduce your case - perhaps the error handling should be improved so that it would guide you into the right direction. But it would be helpful to know exactly what you're doing - the snippet with VecView() above should produce "/Solution"
 dataset but in the file you're sending, there's "/fields/Solution".</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Note also you don't need to do VecZeroEntries() before loading because VecLoad() fully rewrites the Vec data in memory anyway.</div>
