Hello,  
im trying to visualise and check the quality of my mesh.  
The filter `MeshQuality` doesn’t really help me.  
I read this [paper](https://vtk.org/Wiki/images/6/6b/VerdictManual-revA.pdf) to understand what `MeshQuality` does.  
Is it possible to check the mesh like in this video ?

  
without openFoam ?

Best regards  
Kai

There is only MeshQuality filter in ParaView. We could definitely have better tools though.

You can implement your own metric in a programmable filter if you want.
