Hey Tim,

thanks for your reply! The Mesh Quality filter indeed provides the Edge Ratio 
for all tetrahedral elements, a single value calculated for every cell using 
the values I actually need. There must be a way to access them specifically 
(min/max/mean edge length) or a workaround to obtain this information. Does 
anybody know how I could do that? Thank you for your help!


Best, Tom

Thomas,

You can use the MeshQuality filter to compute the Edge Ratio for tetrahedral 
cells. This will give you a field called Quality in your dataset. You can then 
compute the statistics on it using other filters as needed.

That should do what you are looking for. The definitions used in the 
MeshQuality filter can be found at:

Subject: [Paraview] Calculate Edge Lengths in Unstructured Grid


Hello Community,


I'm trying to calculate the min/max/mean edge length (or even an edge length 
distribution) in a tetrahedral element mesh specified as an unstructured grid 
in Paraview. I've played with the 'Extract Edges' filter, however, wasn't 
successful so far. Does anybody know how I could do that? Thank you for your 
input!


Best, Thomas Fastl
