I do not know how NC_MAX_DIMS is counted in netCDF. As long as I decrease the number of the block number, It works well. I put the mesh on MCS /nfs2/yiqi/mesh/7pins.Could you take a look? I think you can load it into cubit. Let me know if there is other alternatives for assigning blocks regions without increasing the variable - NC_MAX_DIMS.<br>Thank you<br>Yiqi<br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: Shemon, Emily R. <br>Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2017 6:41 AM<br>To: Jain, Rajeev<br>Cc: Yu, Yiqi; Vijay S.
