// NOTE TO DEVELOPERS: ========================================================
//
// This is a really big reader.
// It uses several classes defined in Utilities/LSDyna:
// - LSDynaFamily:
//    A class to abstract away I/O from families of output files.
//    This performs the actual reads and writes plus any required byte swapping.
//    Also contains a subclass, LSDynaFamilyAdaptLevel, used to store
//    file+offset
//    information for each mesh adaptation's state info.
// - LSDynaMetaData:
//    A class to hold metadata about a particular file (such as time steps,
//    the start of state information for each time step, the number of
//    adaptive remeshes, and the large collection of constants that determine
//    the available attributes). It contains an LSDynaFamily instance.

//It also uses a helper vtk class
// - vtkLSDynaSummaryParser:
//    A class to parse XML summary files containing part names and their IDs.
//    This class is used by vtkLSDynaReader::ReadInputDeckXML().

// This class is preceded by some file-static constants and utility routines.

  // Now that we've read the header, create a list of the cell arrays for

  // It is a difficult problem since many attributes only occur on some element types, there are many
  // dyna flags that conditionally omit results, and some quantities are repeated over differing numbers
  // of points for different types of cells.
  // Given the complexity, we punt by defining some knobs for "types" of data and define related fields.
  // In a perfect world, finer-grained control would be available.
  //
  // As an example: if there are any
  // - 3-D cells, OR
  // - non-rigid 2-D cells with IOSHL(1)==1, OR
  // - beam cells with NV1D > 6, OR
  // - SPH cells with isphfg(4)==6
  // then there will be stresses present

  // Every cell always has a material type
  // FIXME: Is this true? Rigid bodies may be an exception, in which
  // case we need to check that the number of cells in the other 5 meshes sum to >0
