[vtkusers] Read unstructured data from ASCII file

[tom fogal]

Mirelle,

You could write your own reader object, but this can be difficult. I
think a less time-consuming task would be to write an external program
that inputs Nastran ASCII files and outputs VTK XML files. Then you
could read in the data with (say) a vtkXMLUnstructuredGridReader.

HTH,
