Exodus

Finite Element Database

EXODUS is a finite element mesh and results file format based on netCDF. The current programming interface is documented on the Sandia Engineering Analysis Code Access System (SEACAS) page.

Edge and Face Elements

Extensions to the EXODUS API are proposed in this draft File:SAND-Alegra-20060612.pdf that will allow values to be associated with edges and faces of finite elements (as well as with nodes and elements as the API already allows).
