There are various mesh formats available for representing unstructured meshes.
meshio can read and write all of the following and smoothly converts between them:

Install with
```
pip3 install meshio[all] --user
```
and simply call
```
meshio-convert input.msh output.vtu
```
with any of the supported formats.

In Python, simply do
```python
import meshio

mesh = meshio.read(filename)  # optionally specify file_format
# mesh.points, mesh.cells, ...
```
to read a mesh. To write, do
```python
points = numpy.array([
    [0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
    [0.0, 1.0, 0.0],
    [0.0, 0.0, 1.0],
    ])
cells = {
    "triangle": numpy.array([
        [0, 1, 2]
        ])
    }
meshio.write_points_cells(
    "foo.vtk",
    points,
    cells,
    # Optionally provide extra data on points, cells, etc.
    # point_data=point_data,
    # cell_data=cell_data,
    # field_data=field_data
    )
```
or explicitly create a mesh object for writing
```python
mesh = meshio.Mesh(points, cells)
meshio.write("foo.vtk", mesh)
```
For both input and output, you can optionally specify the exact `file_format`
(in case you would like to enforce ASCII over binary VTK, for example).

#### Time series

The [XDMF format](http://www.xdmf.org/index.php/XDMF_Model_and_Format) supports time
series with a shared mesh. You can write times series data using meshio with
```python
with meshio.XdmfTimeSeriesWriter(filename) as writer:
    writer.write_points_cells(points, cells)
    for t in [0.0, 0.1, 0.21]:
        writer.write_data(t, point_data={"phi": data})
```
and read it with
```python
with meshio.XdmfTimeSeriesReader(filename) as reader:
    points, cells = reader.read_points_cells()
    for k in range(reader.num_steps):
        t, point_data, cell_data = reader.read_data(k)
```

### Installation

meshio is [available from the Python Package Index](https://pypi.org/project/meshio/),
so simply do
```
pip3 install meshio --user
```
to install.

Additional dependencies (`netcdf4`, `h5py` and `lxml`) are required for some of the
output formats and can be pulled in by
```
pip install -U meshio[all]
```

### Testing

To run the meshio unit tests, check out this repository and type
```
pytest
```
