Re: [Paraview] ParaView VTK Legacy File Questions

Re: [Paraview] Paraview-VTK Legacy Format Data File
Sam, I feel I should go back an elaborate a little bit. My goal is to create an arbitrary data file that will represent a crack in a material. This crack will be modeled as a triangular mesh with the following data defined by the user: Nodes (points) Connectivities (polygons) Crack Fronts (lines) Node IDs (Point Data) Cell IDs (Cell Data) Cell Normals (Cell Data) Crack Front Tangent, Binormal, and Normal Vectors (Line data? Point data? not sure how I am going to be able to go about doing this just yet). Data for any crack (rectangular, a semi-cylindrical surface, etc.) should be able to be placed into this skeleton of a data file and the result should always appear as the same when opened with Paraview. Currently I have the nodes, the connectivities, crack fronts, node IDs, and cell IDs figured out. My question currently is how I can have the cell normals to be defined in the data file such that I can open it in Paraview, apply a glyph (arrow) filter and the cell normals appear. Note that each cell normal is unique and may be in the +z- direction while the adjacent cell may be -z-direction. I hope this elaboration helps as I was rushed before in my description of what I was trying to accomplish. Let me know if you have any further questions.

[Paraview] Paraview-VTK Legacy Format Data File
Hello, I am trying to get Paraview to represent the cell normals through 3d-arrow normal glyph filter for the following file. The cell normals should all appear in the +Z-Direction but the lines I have included are causing certain normals to be affected. If I remove these lines, the normals are represented correctly. Is there a way I can include the lines in my data file but not have them be an input for the normal glyph filter? I have included a file with the lines and without the lines. By using the default Normal Glyph filter in Paraview, the arrows should be different.
