I am currently using 3.10...but since clusters in my office have 3.6.2 
installed i tried to use that version. However, for this file:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE Xdmf SYSTEM "Xdmf.dtd" []>

    <Domain Name="test.xdmf">
                <Grid Name="TensGrid">

256 ">
                    </Topology>
                    <Geometry GeometryType="X_Y">
                            <DataItem Dimensions="256 256"

                            <DataItem Dimensions="256 256 "

                            </DataItem>
                    </Geometry>

                    </Attribute>  
                </Grid>
    </Domain>
</Xdmf>
....a simple xdmf for reading data, paraview 3.6 gives an error:

ERROR: In 
/home/pratik/Manually_Installed_Softwares/numerical/ParaView/ParaView-3.6.2/VTK/Filtering/vtkDataSet.cxx, 
line 406

vtkStructuredGrid (0xb091888): Point array sig with 9 components, only 
has 14563 tuples but there are 65536 points


 whereas 3.10 does not.
Was there a different format for reading xdmf files in pv3.6? I did try 
playing around with the dimensions, but it still didn't work.
