Clipping data stored in VTX that was saved in parallel

Using FEM software, I have my results saved into VTX files. I have learned that VTX stores data locally per process, which then results in problems when using clipping feature in Paraview. Specifically, some cells are missing after using clip filter. Problem occurs with “crinkle clip” unchecked.

Is there a trick that could make it work better? Is it possible that Paraview will handle such cases in the future?

Please share your data.

Thank you for looking at the issue.

Here is the archive of the vtx .bp folder. I use ADIOS2VTXReader, then clip filter.

Hello, did you have time to look into the issue?

Sorry, my answer got lost somehow.

Your dataset contains only lagrange tetrahedron, which are sadly not correctly supported by the Clip filter.

A work around is to use the Tetrahedralize filter first.

Thank you for the update. I forgot to say that when the VTX file is saved using only one process, the problem does not occur. Anyway, Tetrahedralize seems to be working well.
