I have modified the dsmcFoam tutorial freeSpaceStream and have added my own geometry. After several errors on my blockMeshdict I manage to get it to work and to run and solve, once dsmcFoam command was entered. But once I enter paraview and want to view the movement of the particles by selecting dsmc - lagrangian option instead of the internal mesh (assuming all volume fields and lagrangian fields are selected) and once I press play to see the particles move, paraview crashes and shows this error message.

I have also changed the write precision from 20, to 40, and then 60, then 100 and finally 1000 but error still persists and so I changed the the writeFormat to 'binary' instead of ascii. But error still appears, and I have also increased the write precision whilst writeFormat is binary. Please help!

If this is a restart or reconstruction/decomposition etc. it is likely that the write precision is not sufficient.
Either increase 'writePrecision' or set 'writeFormat' to 'binary'
