[vtkusers] Creating a structured grid of 250x250 cells is causing MS runtime to throw an exception

[Nathan__]

I am just trying to create a basic example to ensure that VTK can handle the
number of cells I need. At 250,000 cells, the MS run time dll is throwing an
exception due to bad memory allocation. Can anyone please help as to why as
I am sure this number should easily be handled.

Here is my example:


#define DIMENSION_X 500
#define DIMENSION_Y 500
#define DIMENSION_Z 1

int main()
{
    //create points of hexahedron
    vtkPoints *points1 = vtkPoints::New();
    for (int i=0;i<DIMENSION_X;i++)
	{
    	for (int j=0;j<DIMENSION_Y;j++)
		{
	    	for (int k=0;k<DIMENSION_Z;k++)
			{
				points1->InsertNextPoint(i,j,k);
			}
		}
	}    
    vtkHexahedron *theHex[DIMENSION_X*DIMENSION_Y*DIMENSION_Z];
	for(int i=0;i<DIMENSION_X*DIMENSION_Y*DIMENSION_Z;i++)
	{
		theHex[i] = vtkHexahedron::New();
   		theHex[i]->GetPointIds()->SetNumberOfIds(8);  //not needed if use
insertId

	    for (int j = 0; j <8; j++)
		{
			theHex[i]->GetPointIds()->SetId(j,j+(i*8));  //this maps internal id 0-7
to global point Id
//			theHex[i]->GetPointIds()->InsertId(j,j+(i*8));
		}
	}    
	vtkStructuredGrid *myStructuredGrid1 = vtkStructuredGrid::New();
	myStructuredGrid1->SetDimensions(DIMENSION_X,DIMENSION_Y,DIMENSION_Z);
	myStructuredGrid1->SetPoints(points1);

	//create a mapper for the hexahedron
	vtkDataSetMapper *theHexMapper1;
	theHexMapper1 = vtkDataSetMapper::New();
	theHexMapper1->SetInput(myStructuredGrid1);

		//create an actor
	vtkActor * hexActor1;//[NUMBER_OF_SHAPES];
	hexActor1 = vtkActor::New();
	hexActor1->SetMapper(theHexMapper1);
	
	// a renderer and render window
    vtkRenderer *ren1 = vtkRenderer::New();
    vtkRenderWindow *renWin = vtkRenderWindow::New();
    renWin->AddRenderer(ren1);
    
	ren1->AddActor(hexActor1);
	
	// an interactor
    vtkRenderWindowInteractor *iren = vtkRenderWindowInteractor::New();
    iren->SetRenderWindow(renWin);
    ren1->SetBackground(1,1,1); // Background color white
    
    // render an image (lights and cameras are created automatically)
    renWin->Render();
    
    iren->Initialize();
    iren->Start();
    
    return 1;
}
