Thefile format is described fully at:http://endo.sandia.gov/SEACAS/Documentation/exodusII.pdf.Each Exodus file contains a single set of points with 2-Dor 3-D coordinates plus one or more blocks, sets, andmaps. Block group elements (or their bounding edges orfaces) of the same type together. Sets select subsets(across all the blocks in a file) of elements, sides ofelements (which may be of mixed dimensionality), boundingfaces of volumetric elements, or bounding edges ofvolumetric or areal elements. Each block or set may havemultiple result variables, each of which defines a valueper element, per timestep. The elements (cells), faces ofelements (when enumerated in face blocks), edges ofelements (when enumerated in edge blocks), and nodes(points) in a file may be assigned an arbitrary integernumber by an element map, face map, edge map, or node map,respectively. Usually, only a single map of each typeexists and is employed to assign a unique global ID toentities across multiple files which partition a largemesh for a distributed-memory calculation. However heremay be multiply maps of each type and there are noconstraints which force the integers to be unique. Theconnectivity of elements is constant across all of thetimesteps in any single Exodus II file. However, multiplefiles which specify a single time-evolution of a mesh maybe used to represent meshes which exhibit changes inconnectivity infrequently. Field variable mode_shape[0]represents the time step (t_index) if HasModeShapes isnot set or the ModeShape otherwise.

It doesn't handle data in the rectangulardomain. This is not a parallel reader. It expects one .ncfile 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 youremember to do the following: 1. When changing a selectedvariable, remember to select it also in the drop down boxto color by. It doesn't color by that variableautomatically 2. When selecting multilayer sphere view,start with layer thickness around 100,000 3. Whenselecting multilayer lat/lon view, start with layerthickness around 10 4. Always click the -Z orientationafter making a switch from lat/lon to sphere, from singleto multilayer or changing thickness. 5. Be conservative onthe number of changes you make before hitting Apply, sincethere may be bugs in this reader. Just make one change andthen hit Apply.
