Write Vtk PolyData File (From SurfaceMesh)

Group (Subgroup)

IO Filters

Description

This filter will create a "legacy" vtk file (.vtk) that contains the POINTS and POLYGONS, where each POLYGON is a triangle. In addition the NODE_TYPE will be written as POINT_DATA and the GRAIN_ID will be written as CELL_DATA. There are 2 options for this filter.

Write Binary Vtk File If this option is selected then the data portions of the file will be written in Big Endian binary format as stipulated by the VTK file format.

  • Write Conformal Mesh If this is ___true___ then only a single triangle will be written which will be shared between 2 Field (region) ids. If this is ___false___ then 2 triangles with opposite winding will be written and each will have a Field ID assigned to it.
