Blanking support for structured grids
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
I would like to apply Paraview on my Delft3D model data. Delft3D is finite difference, structured mesh solver for large water bodies (oceans and lakes). Delft3D imposes the shoreline on the grid by 'blanking'/ignoring (if that is the term) certain cells on the edges of the computational mesh.
ParaView partially supports blanking of structured grids. There are several things that do not work well currently:
- The geometry filter - the filter that we use to extract the surface of the mesh - ignore blanking information
- IO - the only reader that support blanking is the Plot3D reader. There are no writers that support blanking
