    I'd like to write out element-based data to an exodus file (again

    how to use it?

    I'd like to use it in the same way as
    ExodusII_IO::write_nodal_data, but
    it doesn't seem to work that way. ExodusII_IO::write_element_data
    doesn't even take a filename, so I'm confused about what it's role is
    supposed to be.


You can use it to write out constant monomial variables, right?

Did you need to write out some higher-order elemental data?

Yeah, I just want to write out monomial variables. I can use write_discontinuous_exodusII for that too, but that generates a "broken mesh", since it duplicates all the nodes to allow a discontinuous solution. I want a discontinuous plot of monomial variables on a non-broken mesh, so I figured ExodusII_IO::write_element_data might the right function for that job?

Do you have a code snippet for using it to plot monomials? If I try to call it directly, I just get an error due to the !exio_helper->opened_for_writing assertion...
