### 🐞 Description of the bug
The mixing_elbow.vtk dataset does render in most VTK pipelines. However, VTK's cell validator (vtkCellValidator) shows fundamental problems with the grid. Almost every cell has a validity value of 52 (110100 in binary), indicating that they are invalidate due to IntersectingEdges, NoncontiguousEdges, and Nonconvex.
### 📝 Steps to reproduce
Two ways to reproduce:
1. Add a vtkCellValidator to a VTK pipeline. Look at the resulting values of the ValidityState scalar. They should be all zero. If they are not, look at the reference in [vtkCellValidator.h](https://vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/vtkCellValidator_8h_source.html).
2. Load the dataset in ParaView. Add a ValidateCells filter. Change the coloring to the ValidityState scalar. The meaning is the same as in number 1 above.
