Rajeev, Because this mesh has 540 blocks. I do not know how NC_MAX_DIMS is counted in netCDF. As long as I decrease the number of the block number, It works well. I put the mesh on MCS /nfs2/yiqi/mesh/7pins.Could you take a look? I think you can load it into cubit. Let me know if there is other alternatives for assigning blocks regions without increasing the variable - NC_MAX_DIMS. Thank you Yiqi -----Original Message----- From: Shemon, Emily R.

Yiqi,

The variable - NC_MAX_DIMS: is the maximum number of dimensions that can be used to specify the shape of a single variable.

Why do you have that many datasets? Recompiling netCDF with increased NC_MAX_DIMS might solve your problem.If you point us to the file on MCS network, we can take a look.

Hi Vijay and Rajeev, I tried to convert a .exo file to h5m file with mbconvert. It give me the following error.Do you have any idea?
