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 option
     ] [-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  nodeset_id_list  ] [-n
     sideset_id_list ] [-1] [-2] [-3] input_file [ input_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 deter-
     mined from the file extension if the -f flag is not specified.  The -l  op-
     tion can be used to list the file formats supported.

     The  id_list  passed to many of the subset options can contain either indi-
     vidual 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  option
     with  different  ID  lists  may  be specified.  The output will contain the
     union of all of the subset options.  If no subset options are specified 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  mul-
	    tiple options.

     -o option
	    Specify  reader option.  Specify flag multiple times to specify mul-
	    tiple 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  out-
	    put file name.

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

     -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,polygons)

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