Add Deformed Coordinates to Exodus File #558
-
I recall when I used Sierra SM in the past that the results exodus file produced when opened in ParaView showed the deformed state for each time step automatically. I am not sure how this was achieved, and I was wondering how can I add that to functionality when creating my own exodus file. |

Typically, the convention is that the first Typical names are "displacement", "disp", "displ", "d" with suffices "x", "y", and "z", or "_x", "_y", "z". |

nodal variables, if the names start with ad
