I’d like to create a simple multiblock dataset from within paraview, for the purposes of debugging. Is there a simple way to make one from the available Sources and Filters?

Thanks,

Nathan Woods

Create 2 or more objects by any means you like. The select the multiple items in the `Pipeline Browser` and apply the `Group Datasets` filter.
