I am using a 16 inch M1 Max MacBook Pro and I am using ParaView 5.10.0 to visualize some simulation results that are stored in an exodus file format. When attempting to load in the results of a 1D simulation ParaView immediately crashes. However, loading 2D simulation results works fine.

I have also tried to use ParaView 5.9.1 via rosetta. But the ParaView application will not even open on my computer. When I try to open it, it simply stalls and my computer says that the application is not responding.

Any help on getting the 1D files to load would be greatly appreciated!

Yet another IOSS issue. Please open an issue on our gitlab:

When I try to open ParaView 5.9.1 on my computer the application does not open. I get a message that says application not responding. My computer already has Rosetta downloaded and other applications run on it without issue.

Opens fine on ParaView 6.0.0-RC2 on an M4 mac.
