Support other output file formats #13

Open mheistermann opened 9 months ago

mheistermann commented 9 months ago

As discussed in #9 and #11 as a side topic, we have multiple users who would prefer a different output format for hex meshes.

Currently, one can use the meshio fork linked in the readme to do a conversion (but losing feature tag information). I also stumbled upon https://github.com/LIHPC-Computational-Geometry/ovm.io - but i didn't test it myself.

Adding a basic .vtk, .msh or .mesh writer to OpenVolumeMesh shouldn't be too hard (and I'd be happy to merge it), then AlgoHex could save in those formats as well.

could it be possible to support other formats? such as .mesh vr 2.1 or polyMesh (link best regards

Sounds good for better interoperability! I don't have time for this myself at the moment (writing my thesis on an unrelated topic), but that'd be a very welcome contribution to OVM/AlgoHex.
