GAMBIT and ANSYS-CDB readers

Open vlukes opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

In SfePy we have code for reading GAMBIT neutral files (.neu) and ANSYS CDB files (.cdb). I can make commits to support the above (ASCII) formats in meshio, but I don't actively use ANSYS or GAMBIT, so I'm not able to do writing functions.

What do you think about these formats in read-only modes?

I'm usually against having readers only simply because the writer/reader combo makes testing easy. Let's keep this open for a bit, perhaps somebody steps up to implement either of the two formats fully. At least gambit seems to be documented very well.

Okay, I will keep these readers in Sfepy beside meshio. We have there some other special formats that are only for reading.
