Hallo,
I want to use custom/vtk to write my results, however I get the error: "invalid dump style".
How can this issue be resolved?

Liggghts will need to be build with VTK
We need more info to be able to help.
Are you running liggghts on Ubuntu or Windows?
Did you compile liggghts yourself?
Did you ensure you had all the VTK libaries and set USE_VTK = "ON"
For Ubuntu:
A good guide can be found here: https://www.engineerdo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/EngineerDo_Install...
Or you can download ubuntu-liggghts-compile.sh from: https://www.engineerdo.com/dem-simulation/
For Windows:
Without VTK support: https://github.com/wuhao1938/LIGGGHTS_IN_WINDOWS_11
With VTK support you have to compile yourself, see here for help: https://www.cfdem.com/forums/alternative-cmake-build-environment
Good luck
