ID Numbering in Genesis Export

I had a question about the numbering scheme in outputting exodus/genesis files. When exporting there is a no_ids option, and I was wondering what that does. My main goal is to make sure the ids used match up with the visualization of the mesh in paraview.

The no_ids options should skip the export of the node and element maps.

The paraview id’s don’t match with the cubit ids. This can’t happen in general because in paraview the id’s starts with zero and not one.

But normally the cubit id’s are also exported. You just have to display the ids value.
