mesh/tet and insert/pack

Submitted by SergeiD on Mon, 08/29/2011 - 17:54

Hi. I want to use mesh/tet and insert/pack features.
I use in.insert_pack example file as basic for my simulation.
But I get an error when I use own insertion region geometry file instead of test.vtk:

Is it something wrong with my vtk file?
I attach my vtk file and modified in.insert_pack file.

Will add a sanity check - also, the command still needs a doc saying that currently only tets are supported :-)
