<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>

</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unsure if this is outdated since we've not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>
