    Hallo guys,<br>
    <br>
    have a bug using xdmf + hdf5 in Paraview that I cant seem to solve:<br>
    <br>
    I am trying to visualize my results from a finite element
    computation using xdmf and hdf5.<br>
    <br>
    The results consist of the geometry and topology of the mesh and
    different point and cell data.<br>
    I store coordinates of 2 million points in one hdf5 dataset (X,Y,Z
    components) and the connectivity of the resulting 19 million cells (
    hexagonals and lines ) in a one dimensional hdf5 dataset.<br>
    <br>
    I use the following xdmf file to view the data in paraview<br>
    <br>
    <?xml version="1.0"?><br>
    <!DOCTYPE Xdmf SYSTEM "Xdmf.dtd" []><br>

    <br>
    <b>Question:</b> For some strange reason the cell connectivity gets
    completely messed up, and I get a totaly wrong output in Paraview. <br>
    I verified the content of the hdf5 file and all the points and cells
    are correct.<br>
    <br>
    The hdf5 is about 5 GB large.<br>
    <br>
    Does anyone know how the cause of this strange behaviour? I tried
    visualizing the content in visIT but got the same error. <br>
    <br>
    thanks in advance<br>
    <br>
