[Paraview] Concave polygons

[paul.barrere]

Hello,

I have written a vtu file with a concave polygon (see the image" concave.png" enclosed). I am surprised because the rendering in ParaView is inappropriate (the mode is "Surface").I tried the same thing with a vtp file and it was the same result. Moreover, when I try to visualize a vrml file which contains concave polygons (see the image "building.png" enclosed), I have the same problem. In a vrml viewer, the concave polygons are well rendered. Am I wrong or ParaView only treats the convex polygons ? Should I triangulate my files ?  (I don't want to triangulate because people can believe that there was a physic simulation).

Thank you for your answers.
