I want to convert a simplex mesh to triangular mesh on which I can apply some triangular mesh simplification using cgal because simplex mesh simplification is a bit difficult. Is there any example which converts from simplex to traingular?

[There is](https://itk.org/Doxygen/html/group__ITKMesh.html) a filter for the opposite, [TriangleMeshToSimplexMeshFilter](https://itk.org/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1TriangleMeshToSimplexMeshFilter.html). But you might find more code in this [Insight Journal article](http://hdl.handle.net/10380/3392). That code might need updating.
