Hi Utkarsh,
Thanks for your help. It solves the problem. Just for the reference for
future, the correct version of the controller code as follows,
vtkNew<vtkMPIController> controller;
controller->Initialize(&argc, &argv, true);
vtkMultiProcessController::SetGlobalController(controller.Get());
Thanks again,
Regards,
