I'm not sure what you mean by "view the external curved boundaries", so I'll answer several questions at once.
If you mean you just want to see the surface, change the representation (middle toolbar, combo box about in the middle) to "Surface" or "Surface With Edges". If you mean you have quadratic triangles in your unstructured mesh and want to see them rendered as curved, use the "Surface" or "Surface With Edges" representation, then go to the advanced display properties and change the "Nonlinear Subdivision Level" as appropriate. If you mean you want to extract the external boundary of your mesh, use the "Extract Surface" filter. The rendering should look exactly the same as the original data. If you mean you want to see the outline of the silhouette of the object (the curve around the object in the image drawn on the screen), that is a bit harder. A few years back I remember some talk on the mailing list about a special silhouette renderer, but I don't see any contributed plugin for that. You might get a reasonable approximation by instead running the "Extract Surface" filter followed by the "Slice" filter. -Ken On 1/28/13 6:46 AM, "Stephen Wornom" <[email protected]> wrote: >The external boundaries of my unstructured mesh are composed of triangle >faces. >How can I view the external curved boundaries using ParaView? >Thanks in advance, >Stephen > >-- >[email protected] >2004 route des lucioles - BP93 >Sophia Antipolis >06902 CEDEX > >Tel: 04 92 38 50 54 >Fax: 04 97 15 53 51 > _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview
