<br>
Thanks for your suggestion and I will use xmf instead. <br>

Matt,<br>
<br>
I have confirmed this is reproducible and a bug. The problem arises because<br>

<br>
keeps a linked list of vectors that are to be viewed and the vectors are the same Vec because they are obtained with DMGetLocalVector().<br>
<br>
The safest fix is to have PetscViewerVTKAddField_VTK() do a VecDuplicate() on the vector passed in and store that in the linked list instead of just storing a pointer to the passed in vector (which might and can be overwritten before all the linked vectors are actually stored).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Danyang,</div><div><br></div><div>Barry is right, and the bug can be fixed the way he says.
