Hi,

I am trying to read this vtk file but I cannot visualize it. I have attached the file here.  
[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KvOYye921fy25oBkMVeNTrTx55LP6nXQ](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KvOYye921fy25oBkMVeNTrTx55LP6nXQ)  
Could you please help me with this.

Regards  
Shrabani Ghosh

I think your data is bad. You can see that in the ‘.obj’ file the vertex numbers are all NAN. And when I tried to load the ‘.vtk’ file into Paraview it crashed as did a simple python script that I tried.
