[vtkusers] Polyhedral Cells

[Kent Eschenberg]

I'd like to write the unstructured cell output of a simulation to a file 
for viewing by VTK/ParaView and to restart the simulation, if needed.

The problem is that a fair percentage of the simulation's cells are 
polyhedral which aren't now supported by VTK. When the file is used to 
restart the sim, the polyhedral cells in their original form will be needed.

I'd appreciate any thoughts on ways to deal with this problem.
