Paraview pvd file error

[Rafic]

I am running the latest MARS update and I cannot open the paraview files from MPI. Attached are my input file. No problems when running MarsO.

Paraview is prompting an error stating that a vtkXMLUnstructuredGridReader. I was wondering if that is a bug in building the paraview pvd filed from MARS or is it a Labview issue. Please note that if I select a single vtu file, I can see it.

Below is the Paraview error:
ERROR: In /Users/kitware/Dashboards/MyTests/NightlyMaster/ParaViewSuperbuild-Release/paraview/src/paraview/VTK/Common/ExecutionModel/vtkExecutive.cxx, line 754

Please advice.
Thank you!

I couldn't attach the geometry file because it is too big to attach. Please let me know if you need it and I will email it to you. Thanks

GenMeshUhpcB.mrs is missing in GenUhpc8.mrs, please provide.

I cannot upload because of size limitation so I emailed it to you Xinwei!

Thank you!

Try to compress the files into one package. The input files are text files, they can usually be highly compressed to reduce size.

I plotted the initial time frame of all *.pvd files, they are imported and displayed correctly. I am using Paraview 4.2 on Mac.

Can you please pack and post the pvd file that cause you problem with its corresponding *vtu files (only the first time frame so they don't get big)?

Thanks for the response. I got the same error on paraview 5.1, 4.2, and 4.0.1.

Here are the compiled pvd files that you requested.

The issue is in the pvd file. It uses absolute path to find vtu files. In your case the files are created on the cluster, when you view them on your local computer, the path (according to the cluster file system) is wrong, paraview can't find the vtu files.

This bug is fixed in version 2016.8.13.

You don't need to re-run the previous simulation to get the correct pvd file, you can open the pvd file with a text editor, change the path of vtu files to relative path, i.e. change
