Hi Alexander,
an AMR writing example comes with the F5 SVN, which also includes some
Cactus
thorns for writing F5 natively; a newer version that also supports various
kinds of staggering (known as Arakawa grids
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arakawa_grids)
is under development.
For the XDMF extractor, I need to contact someone. Let me get back to you
once I got reply.

Hi Werner,
can you provide an example, including the files reuqired for the

Alexander,
an option might be to use the F5 library (F5.origo.ethz.ch) which was
designed to work with Cactus/Carpet AMR mesh refinement and to use the
XDMF extractor tool which extracts the F5 metadata as XML. We used that
a couple of years ago to get F5-data into Paraview, I would assume it
would be similar with Visit. Let me know if you're interested in that,
I'd need to contact the developer of that XDMF extractor tool as I don't
have it myself at the moment, but it would be a good occasion to revive
this tool.
Werner
BTW.: F5 is storing time-dependent 3D data as a series of 3D instances,
not as a 4D field, such that the data structures may vary over
time,
which is the case for AMR data usually.
