What i've done for similar datasets is use the Extract Surface filter to generate an outer surface (which includes "inner" surfaces as well). Then use a Cut filter with a Box input to trim away all the outer bounding surfaces.

This grid surrounds some kind of bodys (in my case wings and stuff like this). The surface of the bodys is discribed by surface-triangles and -quads. I only want to have a free look at the body´s surface, but I still need the surrounding grid for streamlines and so on. -> I want to have something like you can see on the Paraview-Screenshot-page - picture called "CFD analysis of the..."

I only want to see the surfacetriangles and quad of my body!
