1A MOAB reader plugin for VTK/Paraview. To build: 2- build your version of MOAB; YOU MUST ENABLE SHARED LIBS IN MOAB, since running a paraview plugin requires 3 a shared lib and some of MOAB's dependencies (e.g. hdf5) should be the same ones used by Paraview. 4 (Note, I haven't tested this, but maybe you can get away with building MOAB static but the plugin shared) 5- install MOAB (needed so the cmake-based build can file MOAB's header files and libs) 6- download and build Paraview from www.paraview.org; for my build, I turn on python (PARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON=ON), 7 point hdf5 to the same one used with MOAB (HDF5_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include, HDF5_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/libhdf5.so), 8 and the rest of the settings the default ones. 9- In the <build_dir>/tools/vtkMOABReader directory, run 'ccmake .'; point MOAB_DIR to the MOAB install 10 location, and ParaView_DIR to THE PARAVIEW BUILD DIRECTORY (NOT the ParaView source directory); 11 specifically, this is the directory containing the ParaViewConfig.cmake file. Configure, then generate. 12- run make; this should compile a 'libvtkMOABReader.so' shared library file, which serves 13 as a ParaView plugin 14- as a check, run 'ldd libvtkMOABReader.so', and check that all the dependent libraries can be found and look 15 correct 16- to read into ParaView, from the ParaView GUI, select Tools->Manage Plugins, then "Load New...", 17 pointing it at the libvtkMOABReader.so file; to read that plugin every time you start ParaView, expand 18 the '+' next to the plugin name and check the "Auto Load" box 19- you should now be able to read files using MOAB 20 21Note, this viewer can also view geometric models, at least from the CGM OCC engine; to use, 22build CGM/OCC as shared libraries, link to them from MOAB (with the --with-cgm= configure 23option), and build the vtk viewer as before, but pointing to the CGM-ized MOAB. 24
