Cannot open some netCDF files in Paraview

ParaView Support
1

I have some result files generated by a CFD solver.

I can load most of the netCDF results such as the 3D data in Paraview, but for some reason some files cannot be read correctly (I am using Paraview 5.12 & 5.13 on Windows). I am getting the following error:

ERROR: In vtkPVImageSliceMapper.cxx, line 227
vtkPVImageSliceMapper (00000264C9171A40): Incorrect dimensionality.

Here is the result file that gives rise to that error message:
result_cbl_ts.000.nc (96.0 KB)

However, I can open that file using ncview and VisIt without any issues .

Do you think it is a bug, or is there a workaround? Currently, I process all my results in Paraview and would prefer not to use another post-processing software specifically for those files.

Thank you

I reproduce the error. But it seems to be an error while rendering, not while loading the data: the Information Panel and the Spreadsheet View correctly work and declare only 1 point and 1 cell, with some data. Is it expected ?

Dear Nicolas,

Thank you for your reply.
I think I found a workaround. I had to change the output type to anything different from Automatic or Image as shown below:
