Re: [Libmesh-users] Read/write solution vectors

[Manav B. <bha...@gm...>]

Thanks! 

I see that this is all done using XDR. Is there a particular reason to prefer XDR as opposed to .exo? I understand that libMesh provides extensive API for this. 

Can XDR be used for data visualization? 

Do you know if someone has implemented a read function from .exo files? Given that I am already using it for post processing (visualization in Paraview), it would be good to use the same data for other computations, as opposed to writing XDR files in addition.
