Research direction

No source file or test is named in the issue. Start by reproducing the failure with a CDB file generated by Ansys APDL R2023 on Linux using Python 3.7, then locate the reader path that parses ET and determine where ETBLOCK is rejected. Done means the R2023 file can be read successfully and the relevant parsing behavior is covered by a test.
