Diagnostic output file does not load anything

[SRkumar97]

Hello!
I am trying to extract diagnostic planar outputs, i.e. 2D slices at specific regions of interest, for my 3D simulation. The geometry is a simple domain, with no embedded boundaries.
Though I have followed the syntaxes specified in the PeleC site, the output planar data files do not load at all when i try to view them in Paraview.

https://amrex-combustion.github.io/PeleC/InputFiles.html#diagnostic-output

In fact, Paraview instantly crashes as soon as I select the data type to be AmReX Grid Reader for loading. What could be the possible reason(s) for this crash? My Paraview version is 5.11.0; am using an Ubuntu 20.04 system. And I am running the code in an MPI only mode.

These are the lines of settings, for the diagnostic output, in the main *.inp file

DIAGNOSTIC OUTPUT

pelec.diagnostics = wall_plane span_plane

pelec.wall_plane.type = DiagFramePlane
pelec.wall_plane.file = /home/PeleC/Exec/RegTests/test/cpu-hm/level3_slices/wall_plane_L3_
pelec.wall_plane.normal = 1
pelec.wall_plane.center = 0.0
pelec.wall_plane.int = 25
pelec.wall_plane.interpolation = Quadratic
pelec.wall_plane.field_names = x y z x_velocity y_velocity z_velocity pressure density MachNumber Temp rho_E rho_e viscosity

pelec.span_plane.type = DiagFramePlane
pelec.span_plane.file = /home/PeleC/Exec/RegTests/test/cpu-hm/level3_slices/span_plane_L3_
pelec.span_plane.normal = 2
pelec.span_plane.center = 1.8 # at semi-span
pelec.span_plane.int = 25
pelec.span_plane.interpolation = Quadratic
pelec.span_plane.field_names = x y z x_velocity y_velocity z_velocity pressure density MachNumber Temp rho_E rho_e viscosity

The issue is recurrent at each output frequency, though the output folder comprises data at all levels.
