                      format for simulation results?  There is a moab
                      mesh and it's natural to write out data (density

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                          unsure if this is outdated since we've not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