Dear Petsc developers and users, I am trying to read an exodus II file from coreform cubit, but without success, Then I used petsc's built-in exodus file, /share/petsc/datafiles/meshes/sevenside.exo. This file can be read by petsc successfully.
And I did a test. This file, sevenside.exo, is imported into coreform Cubit, and then is saved as a new exodus file. This new exodus file can not be read by petsc successfully.
