Groups of blocks

Dear Community,

I’m using Paraview to visualize and analyze data from ExodusII-Files. Those ExodusII files consist of a number of blocks. Using “object properties” (see section 4.12.1 in https://sandialabs.github.io/seacas-docs/exodusII-new.pdf) I tried to define groups of objects (e.g. all blocks to be examined in detail, or all blocks representing a special part of my model, etc.).

Now, it seems that Paraview is ignoring those “object properties” in my ExodusII file. To be more precise: I do not find them anywhere in Paraview (but they are present in my ExodusII-file according to netcdf-ncdump.exe).

Now I’d like to ask some questions:

  • Does Paraview allow to represent groups of blocks (where one block may be assigned to several groups)?
  • Is Paraview really ignoring the ExodusII object properties? Or did I miss something?
  • Depending on the answer to the questions above: Ho to use ExodusII object properties to have block groups?

Kind regards,
Jörg
