Dear all,

Thank you for your discussions. I have benefited greatly.
Please help me solve this puzzle I have related to your discussion.
linnemann's solution works are looks great.
Unfortunately my work involves usage of the vtkMultiBlockDataSet and I am stuck with it.

I did

from paraview.simple import *
trial5e=ExodusIIReader(FileName=['C:\\Users\\....\\trial5.e'])
trial6= paraview.servermanager.Fetch(trial5e)

# use composite data append
print (trial6)

vtkMultiBlockDataSet ...
...
...
Number of Children:8
Child 0: vtkMultiBlockDataSet
...
Number of Children: 1
Child 0: vtk UnstructuredGrid
...
Field data:
....
Number of points : 2230
Number of cells: 29284
Cell Data:
..
Number of arrays:6
Array 1 = Tetrahedra Rank.
Array 3=ObjectId
....


My ultimate goal is to make ObjectId equal to Tetrahedra Rank.

Please help me

print data

or this

numCells = DataSliceFile.GetNumberOfCells()
new=DataSliceFile.CellData['p']

data=[]
for x in range(numCells):
    data.append(new[x])

print data

It depends on how the data is stored, if its a vtkMultiBlockDataSet or vtkDataSet. This is at least how I get my data.

if DataSliceFile is vtkMultiBlockDataSet then you might need to do some GetBlock(0) thing http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/...ckDataSet.html

This can also give some inspiration.
