[Paraview-developers] [Non-DoD Source] Re: Missing mili and CGNS support in ParaView Superbuild

Wed Feb 21 15:40:38 EST 2018

Berk,

If Mili is export controlled, than how is it being included in the build 
script for VisIt?
If you send the --mili flag to the Visit Build, then it downloads Mili and 
builds it into VisIt.
How is this allowed to be done in VisIt?

Thanks,

Joe

Mili is export controlled (EAR99 I believe) and since we can't include it in 
our binaries, it is up to others to build their own with Mili support. To 
bring the support back, we would need someone to give us access to latest Mili 
and we would need to match the need with an existing project.

Best,

	Adding to what Ben said,

	1. Mili: I believe we were never allowed to distributed mili support
	to general public (I can't remember the issues there, but maybe Berk
	remembers) and hence it's disabled in the ParaView superbuild. You
	should be manually able to enable it your build build if you have the
	prequiste mili libraries.
	2. CGNS: The CGNS reader in ParaView itself is a better version of the
	CGNS reader, vastly improved by contributions from community member
	Mickael Philit and then enhanced further for Sandia use-cases. That's
	why the VisitBridge CGNS reader is disabled. VTK/ParaView CGNS reader
	is automatically enabled in a default build of ParaView.
