ReadPartFile.cpp

This example demonstrates how to read partition files created by Zoltan processes and apply them to MOAB meshes. It shows how to:

• Load a mesh file and a partition file
• Remove existing partition sets from the mesh
• Create new partition sets based on the partition file
• Assign entities to appropriate partition sets
• Handle parallel partitioning with global IDs
• Write the partitioned mesh to a new file

The partition file contains entity-to-partition assignments where entities are identified by their global IDs. This is useful for load balancing and parallel mesh processing workflows.

Usage: ./ReadPartFile <input_mesh> <partition_file> <num_parts> <output_file>

Example: ./ReadPartFile mesh.h5m partition.txt 4 partitioned_mesh.h5m

The partition file should contain one integer per entity (in order) indicating which partition (0 to num_parts-1) each entity belongs to.
