Hi all<br><br>I am having some trouble with reading ExodusII files generated from Cubit 12.<br>The elements are supposed to be (and based from what I see in the .exo file are)<br><b>biqudratic quads that have 9 points</b>. When I read the file using vtkExodusIIReader,<br>
however, I get <b>quadratic quads with 8 sampling points</b>.<br><br>Any idea what is going one?<br><br>Attached is the header for my .exo mesh file, as you see <b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">num_nod_per_el1 = 9 ;</span></b> but I still get 8 point quadratic quad in VTK??<br>
