[Nek5000-users] *.fld files to ...

[nek5000-users at lists.mcs.anl.gov]

Hello Stefan,

Actually I would like to do that.  I am quite familiar with I/O and
Tecplot and could make a writer that outputs their binary format files.
This could be done two ways, outputting directly from NEK to Tecplot
format files (and therefore not using the *.fld files for I/O) or
something that takes the *.fld files and creates Tecplot format files.
I tend to think the second is the best method as the issue of parallel
I/O is sidestepped.  What is your opinion on this?

Cheers,
Frank
