/// \brief beginner tutorial, example 2: Demonstrates loading a mesh
///        from a file, finding coordinate locations, connectivity
///        information...
///
/// In this example, we read in the VTK file (mbex1.vtk) generated
/// in example 1, pick one of the hexahedrons, find out the vertexes
/// that define it (connectivity), and find the coordinates of those
/// vertexes. Finally, we will rotate the mesh a little and write it
/// out to a new file.

    // We can now access everything about the mesh through mbint. Lets

        double y = vertex_coords[count + 1];
        // double z = vertex_coords[count+2];

        vertex_coords[count + 1] = x * std::sin( ANGLE ) + y * std::cos( ANGLE );
