I see that you've hard coded in an allocation of 2, 80 to the allocate method
aMeshGrid.Allocate(2, 180)
Would you mind expounding upon how you came to those figures? I am struggling with a very similar problem and would love further insight.
Thanks.

Subject: [vtkusers] Import Mesh Mystery (UnstructuredGrid) -Help!
Hi everyone! :-)
I have written a function that imports a mesh from a .txt file.
def displayMesh(file_path):
import vtk
from vtk import vtkTriangle
VTK_TRIANGLE = vtkTriangle().GetCellType()
with open(file_path, 'r') as f:
aMeshGrid = vtk.vtkUnstructuredGrid()
aMeshGrid.Allocate(2, 180)
# Get number of mesh points
no_points = int(f.readline())
# Set number of points
meshPoints = vtk.vtkPoints()
meshPoints.SetNumberOfPoints(no_points)
# Iterate through point data
for i in range(no_points):
# Get coord info for each point
point_info = f.readline().split() # I need to split, before I assign to point_coord
# else the whole thing is split into single numbers
#print point_info # Check reading
point_ID = (int(point_info[0])-1) # -1 because the IDs need to start with 0.
point_x = float(point_info[1])
point_y = float(point_info[2])
point_z = float(point_info[3])
# Set coord info in mesh
meshPoints.InsertPoint(point_ID, point_x, point_y, point_z)
# Get number of elements
no_elements = int(f.readline())
# Set number of elements
for i in range(no_elements):
element_info = f.readline().split()
element_ID = (int(element_info[0])-1)
element_no_nodes = int(element_info[1])
element_ID_list = vtk.vtkIdList()
for j in range(element_no_nodes):
node_no = int(element_info[j+2])
element_ID_list.InsertNextId(node_no)
print j, node_no
if element_no_nodes == 3: # a triangle
cell_type = VTK_TRIANGLE
aMeshGrid.InsertNextCell(cell_type, element_ID_list)
aMeshGrid.SetPoints(meshPoints)
aMeshMapper = vtk.vtkDataSetMapper()
aMeshMapper.SetInput(aMeshGrid)
aMeshActor = vtk.vtkActor()
aMeshActor.SetMapper(aMeshMapper)
aMeshActor.GetProperty().SetDiffuseColor(1, 0, 0)
# Create the usual rendering stuff.
ren = vtk.vtkRenderer()
renWin = vtk.vtkRenderWindow()
renWin.AddRenderer(ren)
renWin.SetSize(300, 300)
iren = vtk.vtkRenderWindowInteractor()
iren.SetRenderWindow(renWin)
ren.AddActor(aMeshActor)
# Zoom, to see actor. (in case it was too small to see)
ren.ResetCamera() #http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkRenderer.html#b14d1aeb74a4990f2da819e09d028d65
cam1 = ren.GetActiveCamera()
## Render the scene and start interaction.
iren.Initialize()
renWin.Render()
iren.Start()
My goal is to display this particular file:

This however, runs into no errors in command line, and the render window appears, but the actor is not displayed. A window pops up saying "vtkpython.exe has stopped working, windows is checking for a solution to the problem."
To better understand why this is happening, I wrote a simpler mesh file:
7
1 1.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000
2 3.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000

5 4.000000000 2.000000000 0.000000000
6 1.000000000 4.000000000 0.000000000
7 3.000000000 4.000000000 0.000000000
6
1 3 1 4 3 0 1 0.00500
2 3 1 2 4 0 1 0.00500
3 3 2 5 4 0 1 0.00500
4 3 3 4 6 0 1 0.00500
5 3 4 7 6 0 1 0.00500
6 3 4 5 7 0 1 0.00500
When I run the code to display this mesh, it worked.
Mystery. I wonder why? Do you know?
Help much appreciated! : )
