[Paraview] read starcd ensight mesh

[Berk Geveci]

Hi Fabian,

Which file format are you using? Legacy VTK? It should work with the
tetra mesh. I will not work with the polyhedra mesh unfortunately. VTK
(hence ParaView) does not currently support polyhedral cells. Although
starccm+ visualization engine is built on top of VTK, they developed
the polyhedra support independently and are keeping it proprietary. I
hope that in the future we will have the opportunity to add polyhedra
support to VTK.
