Hello! I am a new user of Paraview.
When I was reading the calculation results of MFIX, the software crashed and exited without any error messages. I have tried on both Windows10-22H2 and UBUNTU22.04, and the crashes are the same.
GPU:NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060
GPU driver version:528.24
NVCUDA64.DLL 31.0.15.2824 NVIDIA CUDA 12.0.139 driver
The steps（ followed [7.2. Post Processing — MFiX 24.1 documentation (doe.gov)](https://mfix.netl.doe.gov/doc/mfix/24.1/html/visualization/postprocessing.html)）:
1 open COMPLEXR.RES
2.1 when select “MFIX READER”–apply–crash
2.2 when select “VISIT MFIX READER”–apply (only load the mesh)
3 open F.pvd or P.pvd (Field or Particle information) --apply–crash
Since there are no error messages, I don’t know how to view my results.
Result files：

Thank you !

Thank you for your reply！
I created the issue \* [#22613](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues/22613)
Now, how can I view my results. For example, is it feasible to switch to TECPLOT?

reading the F.pvd files seems to work:

This is exciting.
But when I directly opened f.pvd and “apply”， the software still crashed.
May I ask for the specific operating steps?

It is broken in 5.12.0 but fixed in the nightly binary release: [https://www.paraview.org/download/?version=nightly](https://www.paraview.org/download/?version=nightly)

After several attempts, it worked when directly open the F.pvd and P.pvd files.
But one thing I still want to know is the purpose of opening the. res file.
Is this step necessary before opening the PVD file？
Another point to note is that this interface is different from the tutorial, and it’s easy to crash.

Its a question for the people who wrote the MFIX tutorial. You are currently in the ParaView discourse, not the right place.
