Hi Bruno.

I saw that VisiT wanted to open all the files as a single "database" by default, but I explicitly told it *not* to do this. Perhaps it disobeyed me and did it anyway? The impression I had was that the database assumed the different files were a time series rather than a collection of 3D patches of a single time level.

A summer intern here has been doing some visualizations with CarpetIOHDF5 2D data in VisiT, and it all seems to be going well. However, we're having trouble using the 3D output.

* using the default "chunked" output, and looking at individual files *seems* to load OK, but the file contents are suspiciously similar across all cores (e.g., all show the same domain size, rather than specific chunks of it as I'd expect)

this is the normal behavior. If you open *file_0.h5 (or other files) the plugin will open automatically all the other files and show you the full domain.

* switching to the "unchunked" output (which takes a long time for Carpet to create), loading goes OK, but any attempt to visualize hangs, with an error message along the lines of "engine abnormally exited"

no experience on this.

Cheers,
Bruno

We're using fairly up-to-date VisiT (v. 2.7.2 / 2.7.3).

Any insight welcomed. Thanks,

Bernard
