Actually can we do 4:30 tomorrow afternoon?
Thanks

Stuart,
That works for me. Say 14:00?

Stuart,
Okay, great. Do you have any time to sit down with us next week?

Hi Jay
This is a good idea. I think the big thing right now that would prevent us from doing this is that our interfaces for mesh data are read only so we wouldn’t have the write capability needed to generate the other mesh. Also, our interfaces may
not be rich enough to do a full copy - all information may not be transferred.
I think its certainly worth some more discussion, however, to flesh out how this might work.

Stuart,
The team and I were talking today about some upcoming work we have to develop a mesh conversion tool that ICE can use to convert between its own mesh format and others like Exodus and Silo. I was wondering if DTK could help with this? Alex thought that it might,
and that it could be done with a minimal amount of work by creating a new copy operator for each mesh type supported by DTK as well as the required implementations for ICE, (Entities, etc.). We're not looking to do any mappings, just straight conversions between
formats.
It would be cool to get your thoughts on this. If we could use DTK to do the conversions/copies between different mesh formats then it would save us a lot of time.
