[aspect-devel] Troubles with opening vtk files in Paraview

[Lev Karatun]

Hi,

after updating Aspect (not sure if it played any role) I only have troubles
with vtu files if I don't set "number of grouped files" to 1 (so far, at
least). The same input files produces NULL symbols in different files
during different runs.
I can, of course, run models with "number of grouped files" set to 1, so I
don't need immediate help, but I thought it's worth noting (and maybe
registering as a bug) anyway.

Best regards,
Lev Karatun.
