[FieldTrip] FEM using Simbio

[Johannes Vorwerk]

Hi,

this question was already answered in this thread

http://mailman.science.ru.nl/pipermail/fieldtrip/2016-March/010274.html <http://mailman.science.ru.nl/pipermail/fieldtrip/2016-March/010274.html>

If ft_volumereslice is not applied before the mesh generation, the afterwards applied transformation might flip the directions of the mesh, leading to the described error.

Best,
	Johannes
