Mesh types supported

[Jacob Bair]

Hi All,

I was wondering if there is a list somewhere of all of the externally generated mesh types supported by MOOSE? I looked around a bit on MOOSE framework but didn't see anything.

Thanks,

Jake

The list is here:

http://mooseframework.org/source/mesh/FileMesh.html

However, it's currently very unreadable (we just opened a ticket to fix that). You can also find it here:

http://mooseframework.org/docs/doxygen/libmesh/classlibMesh_1_1NameBasedIO.html#a58580709e13487b041f2da32b3185e40

Thank you!

Just as a note I tried .vtk and it doesn't work though it is on the list in the link you gave. I will try gmv but with .vtk I get this error:

*** ERROR ***

 ERROR: Unrecognized file extension: /Users/bair545/projects/moose/modules/navier_stokes/Iodine/simplified2d_VTK/test_0.vtk

   I understand the following:

     *.e    -- Sandia's ExodusII format

     *.exd  -- Sandia's ExodusII format

     *.gmv  -- LANL's General Mesh Viewer format

     *.mat  -- Matlab triangular ASCII file

     *.n    -- Sandia's Nemesis format

     *.nem  -- Sandia's Nemesis format

     *.off  -- OOGL OFF surface format

     *.ucd  -- AVS's ASCII UCD format

     *.unv  -- I-deas Universal format

     *.vtu  -- Paraview VTK format

     *.inp  -- Abaqus .inp format

     *.xda  -- libMesh ASCII format

     *.xdr  -- libMesh binary format

     *.gz   -- any above format gzipped

     *.bz2  -- any above format bzip2'ed

     *.xz   -- any above format xzipped

     *.cpa  -- libMesh Checkpoint ASCII format

     *.cpr  -- libMesh Checkpoint binary format

which is a nice list to go off so I guess I could have just put the wrong type to answer my own question initially...

OK - that's another problem. libMesh can output VTK, but cannot read it (at least not as a mesh format). What we can do is read in images to make a mesh. Are you trying to build a mesh or trying to import an image?

We're trying to build a mesh using open foam, I think we can figure out something that will work but the .vtk was just the first format we tried and it didn't...

libMesh can read VTK files in the vtkXMLUnstructuredGridReader format.

Try naming your file with a .vtu extension (as shown in the list above) and see if it just works.
