[Paraview] [Non-DoD Source] XDMF crash

[Burns, Andrew J CTR USARMY RDECOM ARL (US)]

This is because the Xdmf3 reader does not support the Hyperslab Timetype. One Time item per grid is the preferred method.

________________________________



I generated the following XDMF file and tried to open it in ParaView. When I open it, I get a dialog with three readers to choose: 
- XDMF reader
- XDMF3 reader
- XDMF3 reader (Top Level Partition)

I can open the file with "XDMF reader", but when I open it with the other two readers, ParaView (5.1.0 64-bit Mac) crashes. 

Application Specific Information:
terminating with uncaught exception of type XdmfError: 'Value' not in itemProperties in XdmfTime::populateItem
abort() called

But I generated the file according to this recommendation < Caution-http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Data_formats#Reading_a_time_varying_Raw_file_into_Paraview >  and according to the XDMF3 < Caution-http://www.xdmf.org/index.php/XDMF_Model_and_Format >  standard. When I try to open this public example < Caution-http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Data_formats#Reading_a_time_varying_Raw_file_into_Paraview >  with XDMF3 in ParaView, it crashes, too. 


Now this is the content of my XDMF file:
