==Enzo Reader==
 
Reads multi-block dataset from an Enzo file.
This Enzo reader loads data stored in Enzo format. The output of this reader is a multi-block dataset.


The Exodus reader loads Exodus II files and produces an unstructured grid output. The default file extensions are .g, .e, .ex2, .ex2v2, .exo, .gen, .exoII, .exii, .0, .00, .000, and .0000. The file format is described fully at: http://endo.sandia.gov/SEACAS/Documentation/exodusII.pdf.<br><br><br>
Each Exodus file contains a single set of points with 2-D or 3-D coordinates plus one or more blocks, sets, and maps. Block group elements (or their bounding edges or faces) of the same type together. Sets select subsets (across all the blocks in a file) of elements, sides of elements (which may be of mixed dimensionality), bounding faces of volumetric elements, or bounding edges of volumetric or areal elements. Each block or set may have multiple result variables, each of which defines a value per element, per timestep.<br><br><br>
The elements (cells), faces of elements (when enumerated in face blocks), edges of elements (when enumerated in edge blocks), and nodes (points) in a file may be assigned an arbitrary integer number by an element map, face map, edge map, or node map, respectively. Usually, only a single map of each type exists and is employed to assign a unique global ID to entities across multiple files which partition a large mesh for a distributed-memory calculation. However here may be multiply maps of each type and there are no constraints which force the integers to be unique.<br><br><br>
The connectivity of elements is constant across all of the timesteps in any single Exodus II file. However, multiple files which specify a single time-evolution of a mesh may be used to represent meshes which exhibit changes in connectivity infrequently.<br><br><br>

An Exodus II file may define subsets of all the edges (across all edge blocks) in a file as sets in their own right.
This property specifies which of those sets should be loaded.
Variables, such as boundary conditions, may then be defined over these sets by specifying a single number per edge.
The accompanying EdgeSetResultArrayStatus property specifies which variables defined over those sets should be loaded.


|
Each Exodus file contains a single set of points with 2-D or 3-D coordinates plus one or more blocks, sets, and maps. Block group elements (or their bounding edges or faces) of the same type together. Sets select subsets (across all the blocks in a file) of elements, sides of elements (which may be of mixed dimensionality), bounding faces of volumetric elements, or bounding edges of volumetric or areal elements. Each block or set may have multiple result variables, each of which defines a value per element, per timestep.

The elements (cells), faces of elements (when enumerated in face blocks), edges of elements (when enumerated in edge blocks), and nodes (points) in a file may be assigned an arbitrary integer number by an element map, face map, edge map, or node map, respectively. Usually, only a single map of each type exists and is employed to assign a unique global ID to entities across multiple files which partition a large mesh for a distributed-memory calculation. However here may be multiply maps of each type and there are no constraints which force the integers to be unique.

==NetCDF CAM reader==


Read unstructured grid MPAS data from a file.
Reads unstructured grid data from NetCDF files. There are 2 files, a points+fields file which is set as FileName and a cell connectivity file set as ConnectivityFileName.
This reader reads in unstructured grid data from a NetCDF file. The grid data is in a set of planes
as quadrilateral cells. The reader creates hex cells in order to create a volumetric grid.


This reader reads unstructured grid MPAS data from a file.  It creates a dual grid<br>
It assumes the grid is in the global domain.  By default, it creates a spherical<br>
view of vertical layer 0.  It assumes it is ocean data.  It gives several options to<br>
change the view to multilayer (all vertical layers will have a thickness determined<br>
by the value in the slider), lat/lon projection or atmospheric (vertical layers go out<br>
away from the center of the sphere, instead of down towards the center as they do<br>
for ocean data).  It doesn't handle data in the rectangular domain.  This is not a<br>
parallel reader.  It expects one .nc file of data.  It can display cell or vertex-centered<br>
data, but not edge data.  When converted to the dual grid, cell-centered data becomes<br>
vertex-centered and vice-versa.<br>
NOTES:<br>
When using this reader, it is important that you remember to do the following:<br>
1.  When changing a selected variable, remember to select it also in the drop<br>
down box to color by.  It doesn't color by that variable automatically<br>
2.  When selecting multilayer sphere view, start with layer thickness around 100,000<br>
3.  When selecting multilayer lat/lon view, start with layer thickness around 10<br>
4.  Always click the -Z orientation after making a switch from lat/lon to sphere,<br>
from single to multilayer or changing thickness.<br>
5.  Be conservative on the number of changes you make before hitting Apply, since there<br>
may be bugs in this reader.  Just make one change and then hit Apply.<br>

"time steps", because they are not meant to be played in order.
When a simulation that outputs exodus files is restarted, typically you get a new set of output files. When you read them in your visualization, you often want to string these file sets together as if it was one continuous dump of files. This reader allows you to specify a metadata file that will implicitly string the files together.
Rather, each represents the vibration at a different "mode."
Setting the value of this property to 1 changes the semantics of the reader to not
report the time steps to downstream filters.

==WindBlade reader==


==VisItAUXFileReader==
Reads WindBlade/Firetec simulation files possibly including wind turbines and topolgy files.
WindBlade/Firetec is a simulation dealing with the effects of wind on wind turbines or on the spread of fires. It produces three outputs - a StructuredGrid for the wind data fields, a StructuredGrid for the ground topology, and a PolyData for turning turbine blades. The input file (.wind) opened by the WindBlade reader is an ASCII description of the data files expected. Data is accumulated by the simulation processor and is written one file per time step. WindBlade can deal with topology if a flag is turned on and expects (x,y) data for the ground. It also can deal with turning wind turbines from other time step data files which gives polygon positions of segments of the blades and data for each segment.

ExodusIIReader

Reads an Exodus II file to produce an unstructured grid. The Exodus reader loads Exodus II files and produces an unstructured grid output. The default file extensions are .g, .e, .ex2, .ex2v2, .exo, .gen, .exoII, .exii, .0, .00, .000, and .0000. The file format is described fully at: http://endo.sandia.gov/SEACAS/Documentation/exodusII.pdf.

Each Exodus file contains a single set of points with 2-D or 3-D coordinates plus one or more blocks, sets, and maps. Block group elements (or their bounding edges or faces) of the same type together. Sets select subsets (across all the blocks in a file) of elements, sides of elements (which may be of mixed dimensionality), bounding faces of volumetric elements, or bounding edges of volumetric or areal elements. Each block or set may have multiple result variables, each of which defines a value per element, per timestep.

The elements (cells), faces of elements (when enumerated in face blocks), edges of elements (when enumerated in edge blocks), and nodes (points) in a file may be assigned an arbitrary integer number by an element map, face map, edge map, or node map, respectively. Usually, only a single map of each type exists and is employed to assign a unique global ID to entities across multiple files which partition a large mesh for a distributed-memory calculation. However here may be multiply maps of each type and there are no constraints which force the integers to be unique.

The connectivity of elements is constant across all of the timesteps in any single Exodus II file. However, multiple files which specify a single time-evolution of a mesh may be used to represent meshes which exhibit changes in connectivity infrequently.

NetCDF MPAS reader

Reads unstructured grid MPAS data from a file. This reader reads unstructured grid MPAS data from a file. It creates a dual grid It assumes the grid is in the global domain. By default, it creates a spherical view of vertical layer 0. It assumes it is ocean data. It gives several options to change the view to multilayer (all vertical layers will have a thickness determined by the value in the slider), lat/lon projection or atmospheric (vertical layers go out away from the center of the sphere, instead of down towards the center as they do for ocean data). It doesn't handle data in the rectangular domain. This is not a parallel reader. It expects one .nc file of data. It can display cell or vertex-centered data, but not edge data. When converted to the dual grid, cell-centered data becomes vertex-centered and vice-versa. NOTES: When using this reader, it is important that you remember to do the following: 1. When changing a selected variable, remember to select it also in the drop down box to color by. It doesn't color by that variable automatically 2. When selecting multilayer sphere view, start with layer thickness around 100,000 3. When selecting multilayer lat/lon view, start with layer thickness around 10 4. Always click the -Z orientation after making a switch from lat/lon to sphere, from single to multilayer or changing thickness. 5. Be conservative on the number of changes you make before hitting Apply, since there may be bugs in this reader. Just make one change and then hit Apply.
