Hi Andy,<br><br>Thanks for your reply. It seems pretty similar. I can merge the outputs (element and node files) from Tetgen and then give a try to the plug-in you developed. Let me know if you are interested for sharing.<br>
<br>Below is my guess on the mesh file format. Is it right?<br>E4T(Element type) 1(Element Number) 4913 5569 4914 5530 (4 Nodes) 2(Material type)<br><br>By the way, is it possible to read Abaqus mesh files into Paraview, or
export mesh files in Paraview to a format which Abaqus could recognize?<br><br clear="all">Thanks in advance,<br><br>Ken<br><br>

Hi Ken,<br><br>I'm not familiar with the formats of the files you sent us. I'm not that familiar with tetgen either so it's possible that we may be talking about the same software or we may not. In any case, the tetgen output grid file that I have looks like the following at the top:<br>
MESH3D<br>E4T 1 4913 5569 4914 5530 2<br>E4T 2 4913 4953 4914 5569 2<br>E4T 3 4913 4952 5569 5568 2<br>E4T 4 4913 4952 4953 5569 2<br>E4T 5 4913 4912 5568 5528 2<br>
<br>The nodes are listed second and look like:<br>ND 1 1672.1247729534 1357.9324205486 -14.27143712838<br>ND 2 1580.6340102853 1340.230370113 -3.885760029157<br>ND 3 1580.6340102853 1340.230370113 -14.12243425846<br>
<br>These are the files that we are able to read. Does this look like it's from the same software?<br><font color="#888888"><br>Andy</font><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 30, 2010 at 2:28 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:wastrel@gmail.com" target="_blank">wastrel@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi Ken,<br><br>I think there may be a tetgen reader that we've developed for a different project. I may be able to move it to ParaView/VTK but will have to check with the sponsor. Could you send a small sample file so that I can make sure that it's the same file type?<br>

Hi all,<br><br>Dose anyone have any experience in reading meshes (*.node *.ele *.face) generated with Tetgen in Paraview?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Ken<br><br>
