I am not familiar with Pointwise or ICEM. The problem here is that the
element type 'TRIANGLE' is not recognized by PETSc, and it
does not appear in the ExodusII documentation that I am using:

  https://gsjaardema.github.io/seacas-docs/html/element_types.html

It is also not used by Cubit/Trellis. I am not sure why your program is
making non-standard ExodusII files.

  Thanks,
