I'm afraid my knowledge here is a bit limited. All of my edits have been in
relation to loading the blade data. The MPI calls were put in by someone else.
By the way, is the wind blade reader updated in VTK as well? (i.e. the VTK
package) I remember downloading VTK a while ago and there was a mismatch
between that windbladereader and the one in ParaView.

Subject: Re: [Paraview] ParaView thinks that it does not have a wind blade
reader
Hi Sohail,
I went through the code and it jogged my memory about previous problems with
it. It had an explicit MPI call in the constructor that would cause problems
when paraview wasn't getting built with MPI. Any time a user tried to open an
unknown file it would try to create a windblade reader to see if the reader
could handle the file and this would cause a crash. If you launch a separate
pvserver the wind blade reader will be available in the gui.
If someone fixes this problem in the reader we can enable it properly through
the gui. Right now though I'm getting a bunch of warnings when running in
serial like:
Warning: In
/home/acbauer/CODE/ParaView/ParaView/VTK/IO/Parallel/vtkWindBladeReader.cxx,
line 942
vtkWindBladeReader (0x3a0c800): WindBladeReader error reading file:

I get the same problem in both 3.14.1 and master. The reader is still available
but just not conveniently through the GUI. To access it though you can bring up
the python shell and do the following:
