Description

### 📝 Description of the feature

pyFluent thanks to its gRPC server mode is perfectly suited for remote computations (pyfluent.connect_to_fluent(server_info_file_name="server.txt")), but it seems that this feature doesn't propagate to pyfluent-parametric.

Indeed __init__.py (l.187) shows:

` self.project_filepath = Path(
tempfile.mkdtemp(
prefix="project-",
suffix=".cffdb",
dir=str(Path.cwd()), # TODO: should be cwd of server
)
)`

Which is suitable for local simulations but not remote.

Is there any plan to release or work on that feature ? Is there any known workaround to quickly adress that issue ?

Research direction

Check the repository status first, since it is marked deprecated. Then inspect __init__.py around line 187 and compare the local project_filepath handling with pyFluent's gRPC server mode. Done means defining and implementing a supported remote-server path for parametric computations, including an agreed workaround or documented limitation.
