[MOAB-dev] One problem on MOAB

[Tim Tautges]

Hi,
   The best way to do this might be to output the mesh from GRUMMP in vtk format (which I think it supports) and writing 
a writer for Patran format (or see if patran can import vtk files).  MBCN should be usable as-is from C++ if you want to 
do that too.
