[vtkusers] Quadratic Hexahedra

[Mathieu Malaterre]

James,

  Also note that this part of the book is also freely available at:

   http://vtk.org/pdf/file-formats.pdf

  You can also send the file to the list we could try to open it also on our side to check what's wrong.

> Dear All,
> 
> I am trying to upgrade my application to run with v4.2. I have got it to
> compile and run (thank you all, Mathieu, Charl) as before. Now I want to use
> the new objects (vtkQuadraticHexahedra), which was a major part of the whole
> objective of upgrading to v4.2. The way my application works (lazily as
> usual) I decided to circumvent the need to create the vtkUnstructuredGrid
> directly and instead I output my FE mesh to a *.vtk file and read it in
> using a vtkUnstructuredGridReader. This worked beautifully up to now. I have
> used the vtk file format details in my User's Guide (dated 1998 - came with
> vtk v3.2). The problem is, the program crashes when it tries to read in the
> file. I will be able to investigate it (line by line etc.) but I just wanted
> to confirm that the format detailed in my book is correct (with CELL_TYPES =
> 25 for the quadhexes).
