Hi,
This is a mesh that I export from the commercial finite element code
ANSYS. I am not sure how to answer this question.
But I also could not understand the point of your question since the
cell representation should be easy to understand by the software. It
should only draw elements around the main nodes that represent the
element, so for this case, the 10-nodes that belong to the element
should form the element. Why do you relate this to a meshing algorithm?
I am not expert on mesh generation of course ;-)
There are two 10 node tetrahedral elements interfaced in my code for
ANSYS elements. Namely,
SOLID92 and SOLID187
which are both 2nd order 10 node tetra elements.
If I follow this thread
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.science.paraview.user/10670
which seems to solve the problem. And I can see the normal 2nd order
elements without divided into extra cells.
BR,
Umut
