Merge Blocks of a Tecplot .plt file

ParaView Support

Hi!

I’m a new here. I ran a CFD simulation and exported the result into Tecplot format (.plt). When I load the .plt file in Paraview, two different mesh zones are recognized and the Point Arrays of interest (x, y, z velocity components, and cell volume) are separated.

I want to merge these two blocks, eliminating the points in common. I tried with the Merge Blocks filter and obtained a unique mesh (the common points have been merged) but the Point Arrays are not merged and they completely disappear.

How can I merge also the arrays? Hope to have been clear enough.

Maybe this issue can be addressed easily, but I haven’t found any solutions.

Thanks

Its very clear but merge blocks should merge the arrays too.

Edit:

Nevermind, the arrays are not on all blocks, What do you expect to have in the blocks that do not have arrays ?

Actually, both blocks have the same arrays (x, y, z coordinates; x, y, z velocity components; cell volume) but the names are different.

Arrays of zone 2 start with the prefix “zone2/”, while those of zone 1 don’t.

Then you should be able to rename the arrays using RenameArrays filter, Calculator may also be an option here.

Okay, now the Merge Block filter is working. I renamed the arrays of zone 2 with the same names as those of zone 1 using the RenameArrays filter.

I had already tried before to do this with Calculator but had not succeeded.

Thank you!!!

Hi, I am also facing this issue, but I am unable replicate what you did. Could you explain it in detail, because I cannot find the RenameArrays filter in paraview GUI.
