    <p>Thanks for the meshio tip, but MOAB can natively write to an

          <br>
          Hi all,<br>
          <br>
          Does the MOAB VTK writer have a way to write structured mesh
          data using<br>
          VTK's structured mesh format?  For data that conforms to that,
          it saves<br>
          a substantial amount of disk space and also speeds up<br>
          processing/visualization times.<br>
          <br>
          If not, we may be interested in helping add this...<br>
          <br>
          Paul<br>
