h5part library is just a very thin wrapper around hdf5 so you can write h5part files with any ode that can write hdf5, including python etc. just the group/dataset names that matter. all h5part does is set this up for you and provide a simple api for the parallel

I am new to this list. Please let me know if anyone knows the status of H5Part plugin ? My specific questions are:<br>
<br>
1. How to use it exactly. I tried opening a Cavity sample file from pvmeshless site. But it returns errors and warnings.<br>

2. What is status of H5hut and H5Part plugins in forthcoming versions of Paraview ?<br>
