<font size="-1">Hi,<br>
<br>
i have a question how to create volume data with complex shaped
elements. An example of the "problem" is using the sphere-source
and cut the resulting sphere you will get only the shell (because
polydata is surface-data!) but not the enclosed volume. On the
other side using unstructured grid data (e.g. for a box) and cut
this one you will get the shell and the volume.<br>
<br>
My problem is now i have a set of complex shaped volumes
(dual-grid data) which cannot be found in the list of cell types
for unstructured grid data. Therefore i use the polygonal data and
color each cell with one color. Of course for further analysis
(e.g. integration of the cell volumes, volume gradient and so on)
i need a way to give a set of (closed surface) poly-data elements
a kind connection to form a volume to handle them together.<br>
<br>
Is there a way to perform this task?<br>
