[Paraview] vtk mesh display: no volume elements

[Zenker, Dr. Matthias]

Thank you for the reply.
After applying the Extract Edges Filter I see the internal mesh, but as a wireframe no matter which display mode I choose. Also when I apply the Mesh Quality filter, the mesh is not colored according to the quality.
Obviously I still do something wrong...

The standard rendering pipeline behind surface, wireframe and points representations extracts the external polygons before rendering. Apply the extract edges, shrink, or glyph filters to see internal elements and nodes.

Hi,

I want to inspect a mesh generated with gmsh. To this end, I have saved the mesh in vtk format and opened it with ParaView. The problem is that I don't see any volume element (or their nodes) in the display, no matter what mode (Points, Wireframe, ...) I choose. If I try "Volume", I get the message: "Cannot volume render since no point (or cell) data available."
I have attached a small example. As far as I see with a text editor, there *are* tetrahedra (elements with 4 nodes) in the file. So why doesn't ParaView show them?
I use ParaView 3.89.0-RC3 (32 bit) under Windows XP.

Thank you for a helpful hint...

Matthias
