[Paraview] Combination of polygonal-data and unstructured grid?

[Stefan Melber]

Hi,

i have a question how to create volume data with complex shaped 
elements. An example of the "problem" is using the sphere-source and cut 
the resulting sphere you will get only the shell (because polydata is 
surface-data!) but not the enclosed volume. On the other side using 
unstructured grid data (e.g. for a box) and cut this one you will get 
the shell and the volume.

My problem is now i have a set of complex shaped volumes (dual-grid 
data) which cannot be found in the list of cell types for unstructured 
grid data. Therefore i use the polygonal data and color each cell with 
one color. Of course for further analysis (e.g. integration of the cell 
volumes, volume gradient and so on) i need a way to give a set of 
(closed surface) poly-data elements a kind connection to form a volume 
to handle them together.

Is there a way to perform this task?
