Uh, now I just tried with another pc and downloaded the file from the internet... I actually tried running a FEM-simulation using both 20-node elements and 8-node elements today and I really fear that the file I uploaded was a result file using 8-node elements... Please let me get back to work tomorrow and confirm this suspicion - if I'm right, paraview doesn't work using 20-node elements and then I probably uploaded the wrong vtk-file... If this is correct, I'll upload a new file tomorrow...

I'm very sorry for this confusion - since I don't have the data file(s) at home (where I am now), I'll have to wait until tomorrow before I can access my data... Please wait - I'm very sorry if I uploaded the wrong file :-)

And thanks, Utkarsh for testing it (my mistake, if the uploaded file is actually the wrong one)...

No luck reproducing the problem here (see attached image). Try running
with "-dr" command line option. Wondering is some setting got changed
inadvertently that's causing this problem.

Dear all,

Ok - my problem was/is related to a 20-node element - please see this simple
vtk-file and then change to "wireframe" and *pplease* tell me why I cannot
see the true grid/mesh, but these annoying triangles that make up the
element...

Please advice (somebody more clever than me) and perhaps suggest a solution
so I can see the true mesh/grid for a 20-node element like I uploaded! :-)

Could you post an example dataset, or show us how to replicate this with a

Thanks,

Subject: [Paraview] [newbie] show grid in paraview - wireframe shows
triangles instead of quads...

Hi all,

[newbie question]: I want to show my mesh/grid in paraview and turn on
"wireframe" mode. But this shows triangles instead of quads... I
colleague of mine says that on his windows pc the correct quad mesh is
shown but on my linux pc, I only see triangles...

Please help me understand how to see the true grid instead of the
triangles...

Thanks.
