Dear community,
I have a problem that Paraview 5.5.2 throws bad_alloc and shuts down whenever I try to do a countour (iso-curves) of a slice of scalar data on a rather small unstructured 3D mesh. The message I get in the terminal is shown below. This happens almost every time. However, if I do the contour directly on the 3D data (iso-surfaces instead of iso-curves) there’s no bad_alloc. I run Arch Linux, and VTK 8.1.0. Do you have any ideas what may cause this and how to fix it?
Kind regards,
Sigvald
