QuadraticTetra

VTKExamples/Cxx/GeometricObjects/QuadraticTetra

Description

The quadratic tetrahedron is a primary three-dimensional cell. It is defined by ten points. The first four points are located at the vertices of the tetrahedron; the next six are located in the middle of each of the six edges

Download and Build QuadraticTetra

Click here to download QuadraticTetra and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball QuadraticTetra.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

cd QuadraticTetra/build

If VTK is installed:

cmake ..

If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

make

and run it:

./QuadraticTetra

WINDOWS USERS

Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
