The .idl files are the output of a mhd code called NIRVANA
which is a software for numerical simulations in astrophysics.
They contain structured mesh data which has been transformed
into a single logically-rectangular grid in the 'IDL field

how to make this data visible with IDL?

Thanks in advance. Andreas
