The manual page you included says that solutions at different timesteps 
can be saved in a GAMBIT file. However, when I wrote the reader, I could 
not find any examples of files with solution data. It seems that all 
users I talked to are using GAMBIT as an *input* format for Fluent, and 
that they save their solution in Fluent format (or something else). 
Thus, because of the complete lack of test cases, I did not implement 
the possibility to read solution data.

The current version reads mesh connectivity, boundary conditions, 
material ids. The source code is available. Anyone wishing to add 
functionality is welcome.
