Do you know what they want?
The Tec360 Manual says the following:
"The HDF5 loader add-on allows you to import general HDF5 files into
Tecplot 360. The loader provides a mechanism for importing generic data
from multiple HDF5 datasets or groups. The HDF5 loader will load
datasets within user selected groups, load one or more user selected
datasets to one zone, load multiple user selected datasets to multiple
zones, execute macros after data has been loaded, create implicit X, Y,
and Z grid vectors as needed, sub-sample loaded data, and reference user
selected vectors for X, Y, and Z grids. Datasets must be ordered data.
The HDF5 library used is version 1.8.5."
This did not leave me any wiser, but perhaps it means something to you.
FYI, the error I get when trying to import vectors or multiple scalars
is "rank N data not supported" where N >= 4.

Xdmf seems handy, and I would like to use this feature, but I'm not
really sure how to. I tried running "petsc_ge_xdmf.py Myfile.h5" but I
get the error below. Am I using the script wrong? Or perhaps it is
assuming that the data is from a DMplex? I'm using DMDA.
