Hi,
For some reason, I don't seems to be able to import fenics and vtk together. If I run a script in command line with
import fenics import vtk
it won't work, whereas removing either line works.
This works fine for me. Please give more information like any error messages, your platform, how you installed FEniCS, etc.
For me it works fine as well. Ubuntu 14.04, dolfin 1.3.0 built from source via dorsal
I am running fenics on Ubuntu 14.04 and I installed fenics using sudo apt-get install fenics
It seems to be some error due to PetSc:
If I run the following code:
import fenics import vtk reader = vtk.vtkXMLUnstructuredGridReader() reader.SetFileName('output000000.vtu') reader.Update() print reader.GetOutput()
I got the error: [0]PETSC ERROR: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [0]PETSC ERROR: Caught signal number 11 SEGV: Segmentation Violation, probably memory access out of range [0]PETSC ERROR: Try option -start_in_debugger or -on_error_attach_debugger [0]PETSC ERROR: or see http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/faq.html#valgrind[0]PETSC ERROR: or try http://valgrind.org on GNU/linux and Apple Mac OS X to find memory corruption errors [0]PETSC ERROR: configure using --with-debugging=yes, recompile, link, and run [0]PETSC ERROR: to get more information on the crash. MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 0 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD with errorcode 59. NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes. You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on exactly when Open MPI kills them.
and if I reverse the order of the first 2 line i.e. import vtk then import fenics, I got the following error:
Fatal error in PMPI_Comm_set_errhandler: Invalid communicator, error stack: PMPI_Comm_set_errhandler(140): MPI_Comm_set_errhandler(comm=0x7ad95ec0, errh=0x7ad96be0) failed PMPI_Comm_set_errhandler(95).: Invalid communicator Command terminated
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!!!
