You don't need SILO for VisIt. I created yet another HDF5 format with VisIt plugin for unstructured data last year (use of iMesh/MOAB for mesh topology could be made optional pretty easily). But I think it sucks and we should be writing sqlite files referencing binary blobs because unstructured time-dependent data has is a somewhat general directed graph (not a tree). HDF pretty much assumes tree and it's cumbersome to do anything else (the reader did a lot of graph folds that could be one-line SQL queries). Or just write VTK files. ;-) Jed
