[Paraview] Problem of Memory distribution

[Salman SHAHIDI]

Thank you David,

My dataset is of type: "Unstructured Grid"
Otherwise, i have 2 other questions:
1) what are the datasets that the readers are able to break up them?
2) I have not a cluster, thus i copied the same dataset in all WS. Is it the
correct manner to have parallel computations?

Faithfully yours,

     Salman
