[MOAB-dev] Writing a tag

[Vijay S. Mahadevan]

You can load a file with few tags already defined, create a new tag on
a range of entities and write it back out with write_file to see the
additional tag also. Use mbsize -t option to see the tags.

If this is still related to DMMoab, are you looking for a way to
define an auxillary (derived) variable, that is not part of the
original linear system (containing only primary variables) and the
dump out all the data with DMMoabOutput ? Currently, DMMoabOutput
explicitly only loops over the primary fields and writes out the tags
in the file. If there is a need to define auxillary variables, I can
certain add that capability since I can see several different use
cases that would benefit.
