Mid-run update causing geometry to disappear

[ericvmueller]

Running the case posted in firemodels/fds#11781 I notice that pressing 'u' to update boundary output during the run causes the geometry to randomly disappear in some or all of the meshes (the canyon should appear in both of the lower meshes).

thanks. I'll take a look.

should be fixed in smokeview posted here
https://github.com/firemodels/test_bundles/releases/tag/SMOKEVIEW_TEST
and also after updating smv repo and building smokeview

[ericvmueller]

Hmm I rebuilt smokeview but still get some strange vanishing behavior if I update enough during a run.
I can send you the location of the case if you want to test it.

thought I found the problem. I'm seeing same thing - didn't hit 'u' enough times yesterday. I'll keep looking

[gforney]

try it now. either build smokeview after updating your smv repo or download a test smokeview from here

Yup, looks to be working fine now. Thanks!

a similar problem could occur with other file types. let me know if you see anomalies when you press 'u' when slice, particle, 3d smoke files etc are loaded
