vtk - vtkExtractUnstructuredGrid not producing any output in the paraview python shell - Stack Overflow

Hi I'm trying to convert a vtkUnstructuredGrid object read from a .case file into paraview and use the vtkExtractUnstructuredGrid filter to convert it to a vtkPolyData so that I can then use various polydata filters to get the connectivities of all faces and edges of my mesh. (this is for a fancy edge based cfd solver)

The input mesh is a 2x2x2 cube of eight hexahedral elements spanning from 0,0,0 to 4,4,4 with 27 points that is read as a vtkUnstructuredGrid.

The relivant code is below, where fluidblock is my unstructured grid and polyblock is meant to be my polydata output.

print (fluidBlock)
polyblock = vtkPolyData()
polycon=vtkExtractUnstructuredGrid()
polycon.SetInputData(fluidBlock)
polycon.SetOutput(polyblock)
print(polyblock)

Polyblock is assigned as a polydata somewhere but it has not inherited any data from the unstructured grid. I know this is just me being unfamiliar with the syntax of the vtk library but Its stumped me for the better part of a day.

If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong that would be appreciated.

It's worth mentioning that really my end goal here is being able to extract a list of all unique faces and edges in my mesh (ie such that the two faces and four edges two hexahedral elements share are counted as one) and I'm not particular about methods, that is to say: if anyone has a better way to extract this data using the vtk library than messing with polydata please tell me.

Apologies for the amateurish question python is not my best language.

polycon.update() to actually execute the algorithm. :(
