Hello all, I have a binary mesh file (xda) that I'd like to convert it to ASCII formats (either gmv or gmsh). I wonder if I can go it with libmesh; if not, I wonder which tools I can use for the conversion. Looking forward to getting any tips. Best regards, K. Lee. |

Hi K, .xda should be ASCII already, no? For example, look at the example adaptivity_ex2. That example outputs saved_mesh.xda and saved_solution.xda, which are ASCII files. (The .xdr format is binary.) David On 02/06/2012 02:29 AM, Kyunghoon Lee wrote: > Hello all, > > I have a binary mesh file (xda) that I'd like to convert it to ASCII > formats (either gmv or gmsh).

GMV is a no-longer-available visualization tool; gmsh support is fairly old, I don't know how good it is for visualizing solutions. You can use src/apps/meshtool app for converting between file formats... basically meshtool -i foo.xda -o foo.e and there are various other options as well. Note that the Exodus format (.e) is most useful for visualizing stuff, since it can be viewed in paraview, a free open source visualization package. -- John |

Thanks for all the replies; I got confused xda with xdr. It's good to know libmesh comes with meshtool for format conversion. K. Lee.
