tag data can be on vertices or on elements<br>
you can use VisIt or Paraview for that<br>

<div dir="ltr">Does Moab have the machinery to write both mesh and simulation data? Obviously I can write the mesh, but I'm wondering if I need to create my own writers for simulation data or do they already exist in moab? Simulation data is just referring
to fluid densities on the grid, etc...

<p dir="ltr">mbconvert test.h5m test.vtk</p>

<div dir="ltr">Thanks Vijay, also is there a moab format for simulation results? There is a moab mesh and it's natural to write out data (density for example) corresponding to grid elements (vertices or cell centers for example). If there is a standard way
of doing this, then one can get the commercial visualization tools (like tecplot) to support it.

</span>John, no need to apologize. This is the right place to send these questions.<br>

<br>
</span>Both Paraview and Visit need to be built from source to visualize the<br>
native h5m MOAB format. There are some instructions in [1] but I'm<br>
unsure if this is outdated since we've not built the plugin on recent<br>
version I think.<br>
<br>
Paraview is a bit easier i.e., compile Paraview from source, configure<br>
MOAB using --with-vtk option and install it to a prefix, go to<br>
tools/vtkMOABReader and use the CMake configuration to specify both<br>
PARAVIEW_DIR and MOAB_DIR to compile the plugin. You can then load the<br>
plugin from Paraview and utilize it to natively visualize h5m files.<br>
<br>
We are planning to also make this workflow easier in the coming<br>
months. Rajeev, does CMB take care of this right now as it stands ?<br>
<br>
