[CIG-LONG] Wrong "Piece Extend" coordinates on field*.pvtu files

[Guillaume.Duclaux at csiro.au]

Patrice,

I had a similar issue with Underworld few months ago... and similarly to what you describe this occurred on one machine only..
I reported this to Luke Hodkinson in Monash but he didn't observe this 'feature' with his install, all was working fine!
My guess is that it has something to do with the version of VTK on the machine.
Workaround with Underworld: use another server or switch to the xdmf outputs for visualisation...

I have noticed that, when running Gale-1.5 on a cluster, the field*.pvtu files are coming out with the wrong "Piece Extend" coordinates. The vtu files called in .pvtu files have the same coordinates.

...
  <Piece Extent="0 28 0 21 0 0"
            Source="fields.0.00000.vts"/>
   <Piece Extent="0 28 0 21 0 0"
            Source="fields.1.00000.vts"/>
   <Piece Extent="0 28 0 21 0 0"
            Source="fields.2.00000.vts"/>
   <Piece Extent="0 28 0 21 0 0"
            Source="fields.3.00000.vts"/>
   <Piece Extent="0 28 0 21 0 0"
            Source="fields.4.00000.vts"/>
   <Piece Extent="0 28 0 21 0 0"
            Source="fields.5.00000.vts"/>
   <Piece Extent="0 28 0 21 0 0"
            Source="fields.6.00000.vts"/>
   <Piece Extent="0 28 0 21 0 0"
            Source="fields.7.00000.vts"/>
   <Piece Extent="0 28 0 21 0 0"
            Source="fields.8.00000.vts"/>
   <Piece Extent="0 28 0 21 0 0"
            Source="fields.9.00000.vts"/>
   <Piece Extent="0 28 0 21 0 0"
            Source="fields.10.00000.vts"/>
   <Piece Extent="0 28 0 21 0 0"
            Source="fields.11.00000.vts"/>
....

This makes loading in Paraview a bit strenuous as one has to upload all individual *.vtu files, instead of calling the *.pvtu.

The solution I am using at the moment is to edit the .pvts file, ok when running on a few CPUs, not so ok when running on many.

Interestingly, this does not happen when I run the same input script on the 8 cores of my MacPro.

I was wondering if other users have experienced the same problem?

Cheers

Patrice
