[vtkusers] Tetrahedral elements

[Leila Baghdadi]

Hi  Xiangyi

I have done alot of FE mesh generation with VTK in the past and I can 
recall any method directly in VTK which will allow you to create 
tetrahedral elements out of a surface. The method we used was to create 
a surface using VTK and use a commercial package (ICEM) to generate 
internal tetrahedral elements.

Hope this helps

Leila
