VTKExamples/Cxx/Parallel/ExodusIIWriter

### Description

Requires VTK to be built with VTK_USE_PARALLEL.

### Code

ExodusIIWriter.cxx

    #include <vtkSmartPointer.h>
    #include <vtkPolyData.h>
    #include <vtkExodusIIWriter.h>
    #include <vtkTimeSourceExample.h>

    int main(int, char *[])
    {

      vtkSmartPointer<vtkTimeSourceExample> timeSource =
        vtkSmartPointer<vtkTimeSourceExample>::New();

      vtkSmartPointer<vtkExodusIIWriter> exodusWriter =
        vtkSmartPointer<vtkExodusIIWriter>::New();
      exodusWriter->SetFileName("output.exii");
      exodusWriter->SetInputConnection (timeSource->GetOutputPort());
      exodusWriter->WriteAllTimeStepsOn ();
      exodusWriter->Write();

      return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    }

### CMakeLists.txt

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

    PROJECT(ExodusIIWriter)

    find_package(VTK REQUIRED)
    include(${VTK_USE_FILE})

    add_executable(ExodusIIWriter MACOSX_BUNDLE ExodusIIWriter.cxx)

    target_link_libraries(ExodusIIWriter ${VTK_LIBRARIES})

### Download and Build ExodusIIWriter

Danger

The generation of tar files has not been ported to the new VTKExamples. Some tarballs may be missing or out-of-date.

Click here to download ExodusIIWriter and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball ExodusIIWriter.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

    cd ExodusIIWriter/build

If VTK is installed:

    cmake ..

If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

    cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

    make

and run it:

    ./ExodusIIWriter

WINDOWS USERS PLEASE NOTE: Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
