[Paraview] Convert structured exodus to voxel data

[Scott, W Alan]

Makes sense.  Will pass this to my user.

Alan,

For reasons I am sure you are aware of, you cannot in general directly convert the points and cells of an unstructured grid like an Exodus mesh to a regular grid of voxels, and there is no such filter.

The easiest way to make this conversion is to run the Resample To Image filter. This will (potentially) reinterpret the data which could have side effects even if the sample grid matches the original Exodus grid (like interpolating cell data to point data).

>From a user - is this even possible?




How do you use paraview to convert an exodus mesh (with hex8 elements) into voxels and export as a VTK file?  Can I control the number of voxels in each dimension? The mesh is of uniform size in each direction and I need the number of voxels to be a factor of 8.




Thanks,

Alan
