Detailed Description

Template for implementing new file readers in MOAB This class is a template for writing new file readers in MOAB. This shows how to efficiently create vertices and elements using the ReadUtilIface class, and to translate indices in connectivity lists into vertex handles created during the read.

After writing the new reader class, you should also modify src/ReaderWriterSet.cpp, to register the new reader along with the file extensions that it reads. This will turn on automatic creating of this reader based on file extension, which is done in Core::serial_load_file.

) [virtual]

Load mesh from a file.

Method all readers must provide to import a mesh.

Parameters:
file_nameThe file to read.
file_setOptional pointer to entity set representing file. If this is not NULL, reader may optionally tag the pointed-to set with format-specific meta-data.
subset_listAn optional struct pointer specifying the tags identifying entity sets to be read.
file_id_tagIf specified, reader should store for each entity it reads, a unique integer ID for this tag.

Read tag values from a file.

Read the list if all integer tag values from the file for a tag that is a single integer value per entity.

Parameters:
file_nameThe file to read.
tag_nameThe tag for which to read values
tag_values_outOutput: The list of tag values.
subset_listAn array of tag name and value sets specifying the subset of the file to read. If multiple tags are specified, the sets that match all tags (intersection) should be read.
subset_list_lengthThe length of the 'subset_list' array.
