vtkExodusIIWriter fails to export two flat, convex, simple polygons (n=5 & n=6) correctly => invalid file
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
Load the attached dataset 2-polygons-triggering-exodusIIwriter-error.vtp. Save it in Exodus II File format. The writer fail raise the following error message:
ParaView3/VTK/Parallel/vtkExodusIIWriter.cxx, line 1721 vtkExodusIIWriter (...): The nodes per element doesn't match (6 and 5), data will not be written correctly
This dataset contains merely two polygons. Load the polygons separately and the writer will do its job smoothly. Group both polygonal datasets, apply Merge Blocks, apply Extract Surface. When saving in Exodus II File format the error message will pop up again. The resulting file is really invalid, vtkExodusIIReader fails.
Tested with PV 3.6.1 and CVS HEAD.
