I'd love to see VisIt become the libMesh viewer of choice! However, right now, it seems like most of the output formats supported by libMesh do not play well with VisIt. I spent the better part of an afternoon several months back trying to get VisIt to read the VTK files generated by libMesh

Well that would probably be the logical thing to do but no, it has not been implemented that way yet That would be important for restarts but at the time the "hack" was implemented it was a quick workable solution to view the generated meshes. On Mar 11, 2010, at 3:47 PM, John Peterson w

Yes, The Exodus writer maps zero blocks and sidesets to max(type) instead. This isn't heavily tested but seems to be a good work around. On Mar 11, 2010, at 3:38 PM, John Peterson wrote: > On Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 3:38 PM, Derek Gaston wrote: >> On Mar 11, 2010, at 2:30 PM, Roy Stogner wrote: >
