I'll have a go at writing Xdmf files.<br>

Am I right in thinking that VTK files are written sequentially?<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, it is a rightly despised format, suitable only for beggars and serial jobs :)</div><div><br></div><div> Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div> Matt</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>

I have written out a Vec using the (Fortran) HDF5 routines
provided by<br>
PETSc.<br>
I now want to import the data into ParaView 5.8.0 and
display a contour.<br>
I can read the data in using VisItPixieReader but the
contour tool is<br>
not available. Can I use the HDF5 files produced by PETSc
13.3.3 with<br>
ParaView and, if so, how?<br>

<div>When you call VecView(), it just writes an array of real
numbers to the HDF5 file. If Paraview can use an array</div>
<div>of real numbers, then you are all set. I don't know how
to make Paraview do that. What I do is to write an</div>
<div>Xdmf file that points to the HDF5 file for the data and
specifies the mesh using XML. Note that you can have</div>
<div>a DMDA or DMPlex write VTK files, which Paraview can read
directly.</div>
