Surface Meshing

Summary

This filter will convert a pair of triangle and nodes files commonly used by CMU in their GBCD studies and output a VTK PolyData File in either ASCII or Binary format. Note if the file is in Binary that the binary portions are written in Big Endian format as specified by the vtk file format. The nodes file format is as follows:

The triangles file format is as follows: If the user selects to disable the Conformal Mesh option then 2 triangles will be written to the file and the scalar data will have 2 entries for the grain id one for each grain that the triangle borders.
