Our Exodus reader reads Exodus II. All our test data for that reader is ExodusII. If you send me contact info, I can reach out for clarification.
There are cases like node sets, side sets, and history variables that folks use Paraview for & they are interested in using VisIt to view these instead. @markcmiller86 @JustinPrivitera and @cyrush should meet with engineering users and figure out the comprehensive list and a plan
Maybe next scheduled visit/eng meeting? Thursday June 20th. I can invite @markcmiller86
I believe I coded the plugin to handle Exodus nodesets and sidesets (there is a special case of nodal vars on sidesets that I don't think we handle).
An engineering user was wondering how feasible it would be to upgrade our Exodus reader. I'm not familiar with Exodus, so I may not understand fully, but he told me that there are two Exodus file formats, one that just reads in meshes and material blocks, and one (perhaps called Exodus 2?) that lets you add in variables and time varying properties of meshes. He told me that Paraview can read the latter, and that some of our codes output this. He was wondering how feasible it would be to upgrade our Exodus reader to support these features. He said he could get more information if necessary.
