[Paraview] ParaView 5 Crashes on macOS (Sierra)

Thu Apr 6 12:07:51 EDT 2017

Hi,

We are indeed working on the integration of a third party plugin to read
Gmsh data into ParaView.
Please take a look here
<https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/blob/9a814de98bb5cfcf7883cacb11013db11ecab832/Plugins/GmshReader/README.md>to
know more about this plugin.

Best,
