VTK is a widely supported visualization format. g-Space can export a tetrahedral grid to a .vtk file as an unstructured mesh together with its properties, for use in external visualization and analysis tools.

Purpose

Write a tetrahedral grid (and its property arrays) out as a VTK unstructured mesh so it can be viewed or post-processed outside g-Space. VTK is export only.

Launching the export

In the Data manager, right-click the tetrahedral grid and choose the Export to VTK command, then select the target .vtk file.

Step-by-step

1. Select the tetrahedral grid in the Data manager.
2. Choose Export to VTK from the context menu.
3. Pick the output .vtk file and confirm. The mesh and its properties are written as a VTK unstructured grid.

Notes

• Only tetrahedral (unstructured) grids can be exported to VTK.
• To exchange the same grid in a reservoir format, use Export RESQML or ECLIPSE / GRDECL export instead.
