offsets array is not long enough
types array is not long enough
错误说明
报错原因：<cell>元素填写不对
offsets array is not long enough
ERROR: In C:\glr\builds\paraview\paraview-ci\build\superbuild\paraview\src\VTK\IO\XML\vtkXMLUnstructuredDataReader.cxx, line 647

一个例子说明UnstructuredData的<cell>元素填充规则
《
paraview数据文件格式PVD 和VTK数据文件格式
》中对cell元素的说明如下：
文档中并没有说明<cell>中三个<DataArray>如何填充，尤其是offsets如何填充。
但是我们在
ParaView – KitwarePublic
发现paraview包含
Generating data
功能，可以把现有的vtk文件保存为vtu文件，从而得到规则。
vtk文件根据《
paraview数据文件格式PVD 和VTK数据文件格式
》中的例子三，自己设计。
vtk文件
下面以一个demo尝试去理解paraview中<CELL>三个<DataArray>填充规则：
test.vtk文件如下：

paraview中显示test.vtk:
保存vtk为vtu文件
paraview 保存test.vtk为test.vtu文件：
【file】–》【save data]–》修改file of types为vtu,并且输入文件名称–》点击【ok】按钮后弹出，configure writer对话框，修改【Data Mode】为Ascii：
得到的test.vtu文件如下：

paraview打开test.vtu文件，显示效果跟test.vtk完全一样。
简化vtu文件
删除《
paraview数据文件格式PVD 和VTK数据文件格式
》没有介绍的一些字段和属性。
下面做一些实验：
删掉其中的<InformationKey>元素和删除<DataArray>中的RangeMin和RangeMax属性。得到1.vtu文件如下：
<VTKFile type="UnstructuredGrid" version="1.0" byte_order="LittleEndian" header_type="UInt64">
<UnstructuredGrid>
<Piece NumberOfPoints="12" NumberOfCells="2">
<PointData Scalars="scalars">
<DataArray type="Float32" Name="scalars" format="ascii" >
0 1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10 11
</DataArray>
</PointData>
<CellData>
</CellData>

0 1 0 1 1 0
0 0 1 1 0 1
0 1 1 1 1 1
2 0 0 2 1 0
2 0 1 2 1 1
</DataArray>
</Points>
<Cells>
<DataArray type="Int64" Name="connectivity" format="ascii" >
0 1 2 3 4 5
6 7 1 8 3 9

</DataArray>
<DataArray type="Int64" Name="offsets" format="ascii">

</DataArray>
<DataArray type="UInt8" Name="types" format="ascii" >
11 11
</DataArray>
</Cells>
</Piece>
</UnstructuredGrid>
</VTKFile>
paraview显示效果同test.vtu和test.vtk.
下面再看看报错的vtk文件：

</VTKFile>理解正确的vtu文件就可以了，不要被误导
