Beany, I use VisIt without problems with the Maxwell version of the Einstein Toolkit. Was your plugin compiled with the same HDF5 library version used to compile VisIt? Did you use h5ls to check the file is not corrupted?
Cheers, Bruno

Hi all. I'd like to visualise some 3D data produced by an initial-data run of the EinsteinToolkit (Maxwell).
I'm outputting using CarpetIOHDF5; I have an output file "hahndol::hahndol_coulomb.h5", and decided to use Visit, as recommended by cactuscode, etc.
I grabbed the CarpetHDF5 plugin code from svn, and installed as per instructions (pointing at the ETK-installed HDF5 in my Cactus/configs/<config-name>/scratch/external directory).
Starting Visit (2.4.2) , and trying to load a .h5 file yields the following error:
The metadata server running on host localhost has exited abnormally. VisIt is trying to restart it. Shortly thereafter, the following occured... VisIt was unable to open "/Users/bjkelly1/Projects/CODES/Cactus/exe/BL_IJS_test/hahndol::hahndol_cou lomb.h5". Each attempt to open it caused VisIt's metadata server to crash. This can occur when the file is corrupted, or when the underlying file format has changed and VisIt's readers have not been updated yet, or when the reader VisIt is using for your file format is not robust. Please check whether the file is corrupted and, if not, contact a VisIt developer.
I have no idea whether the file is corrupted, but wanted to know: is the CarpetHDF5 plugin up-to-date with the output of Maxwell's CarpetIOHDF5?
Any basic ideas where I might have gone wrong?
Thanks,
Bernard
