There are some others but they are variations of the quadratic cells described in the document. I am not sure if that will satisfy your need. You can define new ones by writing C++ code - the way all cells are defined in VTK. If you want to go down this path, I would suggest getting the VTK user's guide and read up on VTK development. > I also wonder if I can use hanging nodes in Paraview?

Is that possible? Because for > me it becomes a surface… As someone else mentioned, you can use a convex point set (a poor man's polyhedra) to do this. Some things will not work well though. We have plans to add polyhedra support but not a definite timeline for it. > Then one last question. Can you write your boundary conditions into a > xml-file? No. You should look into the Exodus II file format. It allows for boundary sets and such. -berk On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 3:31 AM, Karin .... <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello! > > > > I´m new at Paraview and have just done the exercises in “VTK File Format”. > (http://www.vtk.org/VTK/img/file-formats.pdf).
