[aspect-devel] Raw data output

[Eric Heien]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to output particle information (position, velocity, etc) in an easy to parse format for use in scientific analysis.  The VTK format works great for visualization but is hard to parse in Python or MATLAB scripts.  Is there any format preference in Aspect when outputting raw simulation data (e.g. HDF5 vs. NetCDF vs. ASCII)?

Thanks,

-Eric
