Contributor - XDMF
The XDMF file format allows the storage of numerical simulation results. It is developped and supported most notably by Kitware (as well as othe american labs), a very important actor in open source solutions (VTK, ParaView, ITK, Cmake...).
This format is aimed at being a standard interchange data format, and it would be interesting to be able to access data contained in XDMF files from Scilab for further post-treatment of mesh or any results stored at cells/nodes/integration points...
