Hello,

I am post-processing OpenFOAM cases and have found evidence of a ‘Decompose Polyhedra’ option available in some versions of Paraview. Is this option available in v5.8.0?

I have looked all over the app and reviewed the User Guide but can’t find such an option.

Thanks,  
Julian

It is an advanced option, click on the cogwheel to make it appear.
