I don’t see the XML info in your file which is necessary to use VTX reader. You need the xml in either an ADIOS attribute, or it should be saved in a file called vtk.xml and store it inside the bp directory. [See the docs for more details.](https://adios2.readthedocs.io/en/v2.10.1/ecosystem/visualization.html)
