Hi,

I would like to extract the surface mesh of a 3D tetrahedral mesh and clip off one boundary to see what is inside. This is to visualize a flow simulation around an object inside a tank. The tetrahedral mesh is partitioned into 512 subdomains so if you look in the information viewer you see
Multiblock-DataSet
        Block 0
                0: UnstructredGrid
                ...
                511: UnstructuredGrid

So far I've tried MergeBlocks->ExtractSurface->FeatureEdges->Clip and various permutations that I've seen in previous posts and the wiki, but I always end up with the surfaces on the interior of the tank as if it still sees each subdomain as a closed surface. I'm sure people do this all the time, but I can't seem to get it right. I'm wondering if I've written the data incorrectly so there is no simple way for paraview to eliminate internal processor boundaries from the domain.

Chris
