I started the gui session with 8 CPU cores and a 2 GPUs. When i try to view the results in volume rendering, paraview shuts down. I changed the rendering to GPU based instead of smart. I would appreciate help to resolve this issue. I have attached herein the image with the outputted error.

Looks like a dataset problem. Could you post a small toy problem here?

Hello Walter,  
I really appreciate your suggestion on dataset issue. After merging the data blocks, the issue was resolved.

Thank you.
