[Paraview] bug report: xdmf AttributeType handling error

[Armin Wehrfritz]

Hi Chenz,

without commenting further on your problem, could you tell which Xdmf
version you are using. ParaView comes currently with two Xdmf
implementations called "Xdmf" and "Xdmf3". Which one did you use for
reading/writing your dataset?

This error can not be resolved by manually switching AttributeType to “Matrix”, which indicates the “Matrix” type of support is somehow missing at the moment.
