Hello,  
I’ve created a .vti legacy file using C. It contains an unstructured grid with 90 POINTS(nodes), and 36 CELLS(elements). Each CELL is made of 8 POINTS. Each time I open Paraview and click on my .vti file to open, the Paraview window immediately get closed. It is not even loading the file. I am attaching the .vti file here. Can someone please guide me what I am doing wrong here.[Data.0050.bin.vti](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/6kVtFUm8nZUQpM0s14AA9hUdv5k.vti) (7.7 KB)
