[MOAB-dev] Converting to .h5m from Fluent .msh

[Paul Wilson]

Hi Anton,

I don't believe that such an option exists.  The cells are defined based 
on canonical ordering of the nodes, so this relationship is important.  
I might not be hard to write a method that would do this for your 
purposes.  There may be something useful in the ReadCCMIO reader as 
well, as Tim suggested.
