Matt,
I'll have a go at writing Xdmf files.
Am I right in thinking that VTK files are written sequentially?
Thanks,
David

Hello,
I have written out a Vec using the (Fortran) HDF5 routines provided by
PETSc.
I now want to import the data into ParaView 5.8.0 and display a
contour.
I can read the data in using VisItPixieReader but the contour tool is
not available. Can I use the HDF5 files produced by PETSc 13.3.3 with
ParaView and, if so, how?
When you call VecView(), it just writes an array of real numbers to
the HDF5 file. If Paraview can use an array
of real numbers, then you are all set. I don't know how to make
Paraview do that. What I do is to write an
Xdmf file that points to the HDF5 file for the data and specifies the
mesh using XML. Note that you can have
a DMDA or DMPlex write VTK files, which Paraview can read directly.
Thanks,
Matt
