[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Error about reading .pvtk file

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Yangguang,

If the file size is not too big and you are using the Kitware build of ParaView, here are 2 other things you might want to check (although they seem less likely than what you already checked).

Corrupt files. Make sure the files did not get corrupted when you copied them to your local computer. Check that the file sizes are the same. Also, try running a hash function (like md5) at each location and make sure they are the same.

Bad filenames. Windows file systems are a bit more restrictive than Linux file systems when it comes to allowable characters. If you have a strange character in a filename, that might be enough to crash the program when it tries to open it.

If you can verify that the files are identical on both systems and all files have ordinary names, then I have no idea what the problem could be.

Is the ParaView a kitware download?  What OS?

I don't think so. the test file is not big. and I check the memory usage of paraview on remote machine, it is only 500MB. and My local machine should have enough memory space.

Hi,

I am trying to read a pvtk file with data store in vtk file. when I read it on my own local computer, paraview will always crash. but when I read it by using paraview on remote supercomputer, it works. May I ask why? I used a MPI supported version in my local computer. did I miss something in my build?
