NAME
       mbconvert - convert between file	formats	supported by MOAB

SYNOPSIS
       mbconvert [-h|-l]

       mbconvert [-f format ] [-a sat_file |-A]	[-t] [-g] [-o option ] [-O op-
       tion  ]	[-I  dim  ]  [-p|-P]  [-v vol_id_list ]	[-s surf_id_list ] [-c
       curve_id_list ] [-V  vert_id_list  ]  [-m  block_id_list	 ]  [-d	 node-
       set_id_list  ]  [-n  sideset_id_list  ] [-1] [-2] [-3] input_file [ in-
       put_file2 ...]  output_file

DESCRIPTION
       mbconvert uses the MOAB library to translate between mesh file  formats
       or  to  extract	subsets	of mesh	files.	The type of the	output file is
       determined from the file	extension if the -f  flag  is  not  specified.
       The -l option can be used to list the file formats supported.

       The id_list passed to many of the subset	options	can contain either in-
       dividual	 IDs or	ranges of IDs, separated by  a comma (',').  Ranges of
       IDs are specified with a	pair of	values separated by a dash ('-').   An
       ID list may not contain spaces.

       Any  combination	of subset options, including repetition	of a singe op-
       tion with different ID lists may	be specified.  The output will contain
       the union of all	of the subset options.	If no subset options are spec-
       ified the entire	input mesh is written to the output file.

       String options for use with the -o and -O flags are documented  in  the
       README.IO file.

OPTIONS
       -h     Print help to stdout and exit.

       -l     List supported file formats to stdout.

       -a sat_file
	      File to store extracted geometry from .cub file.

       -A     Do  not store extracted geometry from .cub file (depricated, de-
	      fault).

       -O option
	      Specify writer option.  Specify flag multiple times  to  specify
	      multiple options.

       -o option
	      Specify  reader  option.	Specify	flag multiple times to specify
	      multiple options.

       -t     Print timing data	for read and write operations to stdout.

       -g     Print verbose debugging and status information to	stdout.

       -I dim Generate internal/adjacent entities of specified dimension.

       -P     Parallel only: append '.'	and proccessor rank in world  comm  to
	      output file name.

       -p     Parallel only: replace every occurance of	'%' symbol in both in-
	      put  and output file names with processor	rank in	world communi-
	      cator.

       -v idlist
	      List of IDs of geometric volumes	for  which  the	 corresponding
	      mesh is to be written.

       -s idlist
	      List  of	IDs  of	geometric surfaces for which the corresponding
	      mesh is to be written.

       -c idlist
	      List of IDs of geometric curves for which	the corresponding mesh
	      is to be written.

       -V idlist
	      List of IDs of geometric vertices	for  which  the	 corresponding
	      mesh is to be written.

       -m idlist
	      List of IDs for material sets (blocks) to	write.

       -d idlist
	      List of IDs for Dirchlet sets (nodesets) to write.

       -n idlist
	      List of IDs for Neumann sets (sidesets) to write.

       -1     Write all	one-dimensional	mesh entities (edges.)

       -2     Write  all  two-dimensional mesh entities	(triangles,quads,poly-
	      gons)

       -3     Write all	three-dimensional mesh entities	(tets,hexes,etc.)
