Thank you T.J. I think I see now how the information is organized via those ‘offsets’. Do you know if there is a function call that can tell it to write the actual connectivity out in full? If it’s really obscure or would be difficult to find out, then don’t worry about it.

If you count them, there are 32 values for the connectivity (4 cells x 8 points). Sincerely, T.J. Thomas J. Corona, Ph.D. Kitware, Inc.

I’m looking at a file that was written for a 2x2x1 group of cells i.e. 4 hexahedral cells, and the connectivity looks like: <Cells> <DataArray type="Int64" Name="connectivity" format="ascii" RangeMin="0" RangeMax="17"> 0 6 8 2 1 7 9 3 2 8 10 4 3 9 11 5 6 12 14 8 7 13 15 9 8 14 16 10 9 15 17 11 </DataArray> <DataArray type="Int64" Name="offsets" format="ascii" RangeMin="8" RangeMax="32"> 8 16 24 32 </DataArray> <DataArray type="UInt8" Name="types" format="ascii" RangeMin="12" RangeMax="12"> 12 12 12 12 </DataArray> </Cells> I can’t seem to understand the connectivity info that is displayed. I would image there should be 8 entries per line for a hexahedral cell. Any material on this would be greatly appreciated.
