The modules that would need to know how to do the appropriate interpolation
would require modification to handle such tetrahedra.  That's a significant
effort.  A potential solution is to preprocess your data by decomposing
each of your 10-node tetrahedron into a collection of 4-point tetrahedra
that the modules can currently handle.  This has been done by other users
in the past.  The open question is how much difference this will make for
the type of visualization and analysis that you will do with the data.

Subject:    [opendx-users] Importing TET10



Hi,

Is there an easy way to import an irregular grid with quadratic
tetrahedra volume elements (TET10, 10 positions per element).
Setting the "element type" attribute to "tetrahedra" doesn't work
because DX expects exactly four positions and not ten like in my case.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Patrick
