Avoid Mesh Triangulation in Slices

luhawk · February 11, 2015, 14:55

Hello all,
I want to use Tecplot to visualize my mesh in a slice. It is a Hexmesh so this should result in rectangles in the slice. However, Tecplot always triangulates the Mesh in the slice so there is only triangles. Interesting because on surfaces it does't do that. Is there any option to turn of mesh triangulation in slices like in paraview 4.1?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Luhawk,

We are aware of this limitation and are planning on addressing it later this year time permitting. Are you interested slicing where you see the cell faces sometime referred to as a crinkle surface?
