[Paraview] Paraview stops rendering after a while

[Jella, Sandeep]

Hi Utkarsh,

Thanks for responding so quickly. I have no problems sharing the dataset and the script...it is quite large though - probably 10-15 G compressed. I will see what I can do to get a reduced data-set.

Alternatively, how can I set up a debug run so that a trace can be sent to you?

Meanwhile, I think that Version 4.0.0-RC2 doesn't have this issue as I managed to do the complete animation - I'll confirm again with a few more tests but it came out ok. I've copied Martin Larcher on this since he mentions the same problem in an earlier post to the mailing list and this may be of use to him.

Cheers,

Sandeep.

Dear all,
I have the same problem since some weeks. When I try to create a longer 
animation the rendering stops after about 100 steps and the same view is 
shown by changing the time (using vtu files). Sandeep's error 
description sounds very similar. I'm using only standard filters, 
perhaps Contour is quite expensive. And perhaps my models are slightly 
bigger (about 1.6 million cells and a similar number of points).
Some further remarks: I get the problem when I do the playback or even 
when I create an animation. I do not get the problem when I'm using no 
filters (except the read filter). If I remove after the occurrence of 
the error the Contour filter, there seems to be a layer over the output. 
During turning the model I can see it, when I release the mouse it 
disappears...
Any idea?
I'm using 4.3.1 but I have the same with 4.2 and 4.1
Martin

If you have a example script+dataset that you can share (off the list, if needed) to reproduce this issue, that'd make things easier to debug.
