Hello,
I have two datasets. 1st dataset is a vtk file imported from OpenFoam and it contains data over a structured mesh. 2nd dataset is a vtk file but has data over the points only. I want to transfer the 1st dataset to the 2nd one. I tried using the Resample with dataset filter but the output contains empty arrays. Please explain how it can be done.
The structured mesh can be found here [CD\_100\_1000000.vtk - Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AQuOrbP72iWdc4lqZYQnrE7peXzdTkRG/view?usp=sharing) while the unstructured vtk file can be found here.

When the second point cloud is displayed using the **Point Gaussian** representation, it appears that the first mesh and the second point cloud do not overlap. If the two data sets do not overlap, then the **Resample with dataset** filter will not work.
