[Paraview] Fw:Re:Re: Paraview store all data in every server node?

[Renato Elias]

It seems that you're writting parallel geometry in a serial way. Partitioned
grid, as far as I know, must be stored as spatial collections in xdmf
format. In other words, each processors stores its own grid portion (a pair
xdmf/hdf5 file) and rank0, for instance, writes a xdmf file describing how
to "glue" the grid pieces using a spatial collection clause.
