A follow up... To build I changed the linking options to: -lvtkCommonCore-6.0 -lvtkCommonDataModel-6.0 -lvtkIOCore-6.0 -lvtkIOXML-6.0 -lvtkRenderingCore-6.0 And the code to: //writer->SetInputConnection(grid->GetProducerPort()); writer->SetHeaderTypeToUInt64(); writer->SetInputData(grid);
I can now write a large vtr file using VTK6 and have ParaView 3.14.1-1300-g0596919 read the file with no errors. However as the data gets larger ParaView is more unstable. I found that I had to start using ParaView in parallel to prevent seg faults. So it is working thanks :) Paul _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul McIntosh Sent: Sunday, 29 July 2012 10:12 AM To: 'Andy Bauer' Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Paraview] Large vtr files not read - The data array in theelement may be too short Hi Andy, Thanks - I am just trying to get my build working with the new VTK 6 library system and if it works I'll post the updated code.

ParaView master will be able to read them in properly. Unfortunately though this has been fixed since the 3.14.1 release so it won't work there. We're working on fixing this limitation properly for the next ParaView release.

I have been trying using VTK and found that there is a size limit(?). Googling showed that there was a bug in 2005 that should have been fixed but I am still getting an error when I go above a certain size (even with 3.14 64bit precompiled). I have adapted a VTK example and reproduced the problem - below is the error message followed by the code. "size = 1000" works, "size = 1200" produced the error message, "size = 2000" ParaView just segfaults. Do I have to change it to use parallel writers?
