[Nek5000-users] Error while compiling exo2nek

Tue Nov 21 09:40:48 CST 2017

No, I ran it without sudo as well, and cchanged to sudo when I got the
permission error.

On an additional issue, I'm generating my meshes in the exodusII format by
using PoinWise and then exporting the exodusII file. exo2nek fails with the
following error message when I try to use it on these files.

EXODUS: ERROR: Attempting to open the netcdf-4 file:
    'pw_exo1.exo'
    . Either the netcdf library does not support netcdf-4 or there is a
filesystem or some other issue
ERROR: cannot open file pw_exo1.exo

On checking the properties of the .exo file I found that its an HDF
document and not a netcdf file.
Since Marco's file converts without problems I'm sure the issue lies in how
pointwise is exporting the exodusII files.

Is exo2nek not a viable alternative for exodusII files then?
