Dear Luke.

We have not worked with Vis5D+ to date but plan to.  However, a simple
Internet seach found this link:
http://vis5d.sourceforge.net/doc/ch02sec2.html.

It indicates that Vis5D+ will read netcdf files if you have the netcdf
library installed when you compiled the Vis5D+ code.

My helping hand to this hour.

Good luck.

Regards,

Mac
