Exodus reader (ExodusReader)
Read an Exodus II file to produce an unstructured grid.
The Exodus reader loads Exodus II files and produces an unstructured grid output. The default file extensions are .g, .e, .ex2, .ex2v2, .exo, .gen, .exoII, .0, .00, .000, and .0000.

PropertyDescriptionDefault Value(s)Restrictions
Apply Displacements
(ApplyDisplacements)
If this property is set to 1, the reader will automatically apply displacements. 1

Only the values 0 and 1 are accepted.

 
Block Arrays
(BlockArrayStatus)
This property lists which block arrays to read.  

The list of array names is provided by the reader.

 
Cell Arrays
(CellArrayStatus)
This property lists which cell-centered arrays to read.  

The list of array names is provided by the reader.

 
Displacement Magnitude
(DisplacementMagnitude)
If the value of the Apply Displacements property is 1, the value of this property specifies the magnitude of the applied displacement. 1  
Display Type
(DisplayType)
This property indicates the display type (blocks = 1, materials = 2, hierarchy = 3). 1  
Include metadata
(ExodusModelMetadata)
If this property is set to 1, Exodus model metadata will be created; this is the case needed if you plan to write Exodus or EnSight files. Otherwise set this property to 0 and the metadata will not be created. 0

Only the values 0 and 1 are accepted.

 
File Name
(FileName)
This property specifies the file name for the Exodus reader.    
File Pattern
(FilePattern)
This property contains a text string specifying the pattern used to load files. There are two parts to it: the prefix (%s) and the file number (%i). The format used is the same as that used for printf.    
File Prefix
(FilePrefix)
This property specifies the file root used with the file pattern to format a file name. (See the File Pattern property.)    
File Range
(FileRange)
This property controls the indices of the first and last files to be read. -1 -1  
Block Ids
(GenerateBlockIdCellArray)
If this property is set to 1, the reader will generate block ids. Otherwise these ids will not be generated. 1

Only the values 0 and 1 are accepted.

 
File Ids
(GenerateFileIdArray)
If this property is set to 1, the reader will generate cell-based disk file ids. Otherwise these ids will not be generated. 0

Only the values 0 and 1 are accepted.

 
Global Element Ids
(GenerateGlobalElementIdArray)
If this property is set to 1, the reader will generates global element ids. Otherwise these ids will not be generated. 1

Only the values 0 and 1 are accepted.

 
Global Node Ids
(GenerateGlobalNodeIdArray)
If this property is set to 1, the reader will generate global node ids. Otherwise these ids will not be generated. 1

Only the values 0 and 1 are accepted.

 
Has Mode Shapes
(HasModeShapes)
Some simulations overload the Exodus time steps to represent mode shapes. In this case, it does not make sense to iterate over the "time steps", because they are not meant to be played in order. Rather, each represents the vibration at a different "mode." Setting the value of this property to 1 changes the semantics of the reader to not report the time steps to downstream filters. 0

Only the values 0 and 1 are accepted.

 
Hierarchy Arrays
(HierarchyArrayStatus)
This property lists which hierarchy arrays to read.  

The list of array names is provided by the reader.

 
Material Arrays
(MaterialArrayStatus)
This property lists which material arrays to read.  

The list of array names is provided by the reader.

 
Mode Shape
(ModeShape)
Specify the current mode shape with HasModeShapes in on. 0  
Node Set Arrays
(NodeSetArrayStatus)
This property lists which node set arrays to read.  

The list of array names is provided by the reader.

 
Point Arrays
(PointArrayStatus)
This property lists which point-centered arrays to read.  

The list of array names is provided by the reader.

 
Side Set Arrays
(SideSetArrayStatus)
This property lists which side set arrays to read.  

The list of array names is provided by the reader.

 
XML File Name
(XMLFileName)
This property specifies the name of an XML file containing part and material descriptions and a mapping to element blocks.
