Hi Sohail,<br><br>I went through the code and it jogged my memory about previous problems with it. It had an explicit MPI call in the constructor that would cause problems when paraview wasn't getting built with MPI. Any time a user tried to open an unknown file it would try to create a windblade reader to see if the reader could handle the file and this would cause a crash. If you launch a separate pvserver the wind blade reader will be available in the gui.<br>
<br>If someone fixes this problem in the reader we can enable it properly through the gui. Right now though I'm getting a bunch of warnings when running in serial like:<br>Warning: In /home/acbauer/CODE/ParaView/ParaView/VTK/IO/Parallel/vtkWindBladeReader.cxx, line 942<br>

I get the same problem in both 3.14.1 and master. The reader is still available but just not conveniently through the GUI. To access it though you can bring up the python shell and do the following:<br>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:'Courier'">>>> w = WindBladereader()</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:'Courier'">>>> w.Filename = "<path>/test1_topo.wind"</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:'Courier'">>>> Show()</span></p>

<p style="margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:9pt;margin-left:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-family:'Courier';margin-top:0px"><br></p>This shouldn't be too hard of a fix for ParaView. I'll let you know when it's done.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<br>
a similar bug was fixed in master not so long ago. Could you try<br>
master to see if the issue remains ?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
