Testing contract

Expected to pass
Scenario
Import the .vtk source and calculate topology plus axis-aligned bounds.
Expected result
Exactly four vertices and four triangular faces form one closed tetrahedron whose minimum is 0,0,0 and maximum is 1,1,1.

What is a .vtk file?

The legacy VTK file format stores scientific visualization datasets such as polygonal meshes, structured grids, and unstructured grids in a compact header plus ASCII or binary data sections. DATASET selects the topology, while POINTS, CELLS, POLYGONS, and attribute blocks describe geometry and associated scalar or vector values.

How to use this file

Use an example .vtk file to test header and encoding detection, topology counts, numeric parsing, point and cell attributes, and semantic comparison of bounds and connectivity after import or conversion.

How to use this file for testing

“Convert v2 Tetrahedron Source (VTK)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Conversion testing, Mesh processing QA. The same content exported across many formats and linked as a group, so you can convert one and diff against the expected twin.

Documented properties for this file: VTK · 150 bytes. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

3D and CAD fixtures carry one small, documented solid or scene. Convert and inspect against the known geometry, units, and structure; format twins let you diff interchange fidelity, and the 3D viewer previews the actual mesh.
