Nightly 5.6.0 1408 seems to fail to load OpenFOAM polyhedral mesh

ParaView Support
1

Hi all,

I’ve recently tried the second latest nightly build of paraview, and found it to not successfully work on OpenFOAM polyhedral meshes. It seems to work on a problem of mine I ran with hexahedral cells. When I load a case with polyhedral cells, I see the initial view successfully rendered. However, after any zooming or panning, paraview immediately crashes with the following error message:

Loguru caught a signal: SIGSEGV

Just thought this issue should be known. For now, I’m just going to stick to using the 5.6.0 release.

Is it possible to share the data file you used?

3

Bringing this to the attention of @olesenm…

Well, I tried a simple cuboidal polyhedral heat conduction problem, and it seems to run fine. Attached is a simplified version of my data that paraview chokes on, just containing a uniform temperature field of 748. This one is not polyhedral, but is hexhedral and decomposed over 144 processors. You can open it by unzipping and running paraview on “a.foam”, and should find that the initial view loads but crashes once any changes are made.

I couldn’t get the 130 MB file to upload to this forum, so here’s a google drive link to it.

Thanks!

Hmm. I’m able to open the file and play around with it (toggling checkboxes on the reader itself) and add filters to it. Maybe this is fixed on master since your build?

6

Did you load the “decomposed” version and not “reconstructed”? That’s what did it for me.

Hmm. That’s not doing anything else. I can change the representation and step through the timesteps just fine with all cell and mesh fields enabled.

8

I reproduce the issue with the last nightly, but not with master. It may be a cmake option issue or a packaging issue ?

Looks like this bug:

This is this bug indeed. As a workaround, please disable LOD or use Outline for interactive rendering.

@robert.maynard, @allison.vacanti, this topic includes a dataset to reproduce the vtmLevelOfDetail segfault.

@robert.maynard @allison.vacanti You may want to use this one (2.6 MB), much smaller.
