Parallel mesh input #53

Open baagaard-usgs opened 6 years ago

Support parallel mesh reading using the PETSc HDF5 format.

Write a converter to conver Exodus and Gmsh files to PETSc HDF5 format.

@baagaard-usgs We are not supporting MED anymore. It looks like it was dropped. We have parallel input from HDF5. I think we just write a small converter from any format we are using to HDF5. This should be easy since it would just be a DMLoad()/DMView() and could be done from Python.

Parallel mesh loading requires generating cohesive cells in parallel! I think this is the main obstacle.
