My file is a <?xml version="1.0"?> <VTKFile type="UnstructuredGrid" version="0.1" byte_order="LittleEndian" compressor="vtkZLibDataCompressor"> <UnstructuredGrid> <Piece NumberOfPoints="116" NumberOfCells="1052" > <PointData> </PointData> <CellData> <DataArray type="Int32" Name="TetrahedraRank" format="appended" RangeMin="1" RangeMax="2" offset="0" /> <DataArray type="Int32" Name="TetrahedraNo" format="appended" RangeMin="0" RangeMax="262" offset="188" /> </CellData> <Points> <DataArray type="Float32" Name="Points" NumberOfComponents="3" format="appended" RangeMin="2003013.3465" RangeMax="2003224.1668" offset="812" /> </Points> <Cells> <DataArray type="Int64" Name="connectivity" format="appended" RangeMin="" RangeMax="" offset="1680" /> <DataArray type="Int64" Name="offsets" format="appended" RangeMin="" RangeMax="" offset="5892" /> <DataArray type="UInt8" Name="types" format="appended" RangeMin="" RangeMax="" offset="8116" /> </Cells> </Piece> </UnstructuredGrid> <AppendedData encoding="base64"> (data long list) The file can be found in this link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzmZiSDoM7l3U2poYWNTbUhBWVU I don't understand how to decode a vtk file and couldn't find anything in google. I've tried using some scripts in python for base64 but it didn't work.. The reason why I need to decode this is because somehow this vtk file which load in paraview perfectly becomes a 2d file in another software "MOOSE" .. So I think somehow in the encoded data is telling the other software "only display the 2D intersection of blocks". But I want a 3D cube not a 2D surface. If someone knows about this please tell me . Thank you, Andi
