Hello. I’ve exported catalyst state from paraview  
[script2.py](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/xTc8DCL9IG0LfCS8JaTZxESo8hs.py) (6.4 KB)

But I have a problem with it, when i use mpi and more than one  
processor :

```auto
Loguru caught a signal: SIGABRT

```

How can I avoid this? Thanks

Looks like its failing to distirbute the 2D data across all ranks. While I’ll need the data to figure out what that’s happening, one way to avoid this would be not use translucent geometry or set `calculator1Display.UseDataPartitions = 1` before rendering,or leave the data 3D and just render using parallel projection with camera along z-axes – the rendering result should be similar, I’d guess.

calculator1Display.UseDataPartitions = 1 didn’t work, but leaving data in 3d gives the same result, thanks
