Hi Weston, > Is there any way I could render HEX9 exodusii data as as HEX8 data in > paraview, (ignoring the 9th node) or work with it directly?
Not without modifying the source. Have you built ParaView yourself or do you install it from packages. > > HEX9 numbering: > https://github.com/gsjaardema/seacas/blob/master/docs/topology/hex09.png > > It appears that Paraview reads the file as HEX8 but is reading the center > node as part of one of the hexahedron's edges (see attached image) It would help to have a small example file for us to test against. If you want to experiment, you can edit VTK/IO/Exodus/vtkExodusIIReader.cxx around line 3237 (inside vtkExodusIIReaderPrivate::DetermineVtkCellType) and add else if ((elemType.substr(0,3) == "HEX") && (binfo.BdsPerEntry[0] == 9)) { binfo.CellType=VTK_HEXAHEDRON; binfo.PointsPerCell = 8; } You can see that is what we do for 21-node hexes currently.
