[Paraview] How to save data to xmf format?

[Su, Simon M CTR USAF (US)]

Hello,

I have a visualization pipeline output that I am seeing on the ParaView GUI that I would like to use File->Save Data into xmf format. However, I am getting the following error when I try to save the file


ERROR: In /home/utkarsh/Dashboards/MyTests/NightlyMaster/ParaViewSuperbuild-Release/paraview/src/paraview/VTK/Common/ExecutionModel/vtkDemandDrivenPipeline.cxx, line 815

vtkPVPostFilterExecutive (0x4407890): Input for connection index 0 on input port index 0 for algorithm vtkPVPostFilter(0x4472160) is of type vtkDataObject, but a vtkPolyData is required.

I got the error above when I open ParaView-4.1.0, and then load a cone using Source->Cone option and hit apply. And then do a File->Save Data and pick xmf file format.


What would be the correct way to get my data into xmf format? And what would be the corresponding python script to do that?


thanks
