Open the code examples in section 3.1 and reproduce the reported TypeError at the line deleting from slice._subslices, using fdsreader 1.9.1 and FDS 6.7.5. Trace the example's use of the fdsreader objects and update the section so the examples execute successfully without this error.

Description

When executing python code, an error message is displayed in section 3.1.:

TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
~\AppData\Local\Temp/ipykernel_3356/82368212.py in
16 to_del.append(s.mesh)
17 for m in to_del:

19
20 extent = (slice.extent[0][0], slice.extent[0][1],

TypeError: unhashable type: 'Mesh'

I ask you to update the python code in section 3.1.

I'm new to the fdsreader library
