Using Paraview ParticleTracer crashes program
I have been experiencing this issue with:
- Paraview 5.2.0 and 5.4.0 on Windows 7
- Paraview 5.2.0 on Fedora
I have run a simple, transient flow case using Ansys CFX and exported the results to the ensight (Gold, ASCII) format using the export option from CFX-solve. I have imported the ensight case file into Paraview and verified the solution can be visualized by stepping through the timesteps and watching the fields change on a Slice
filter.
I then used the ExtractSelection
filter to select the inlet boundary (from the vtkMultiBlockDataSet). I then created the ParticleTracer
filter using the .case file object as the Input
and the ExtractSelection
filter as the Seed Source
. Paraview is fine up until this point, but as soon as I hit reply I get the 'Paraview has stopped working` message on Windows while Paraview instantly closes without any messages in the terminal or otherwise on Fedora.
Here is a link to a .zip file containing all the Ensight files as well as the Paraview state file (27.3 MB): https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B36AnwxERxoHSk96a0ZwR0tTQ3c
I have tried two workarounds:
- Using the
Slice
filter as theSeed Source
instead of theExtractSelection
filter. Same error. - Exporting the data to the .vtm file format and reloading it. Didn't load the timesteps properly.
I'm not sure whether this is related to this issue: #12317 (closed) but that issue was closed because the OP did not provide data, which means the respondents could not reproduce the bug.
