Thanks Andi,

I don't know since the ensight reader does this for me. I want to work with the 
input he produces.

Is it in any way possible to link GetMetaData to the current block? Afaik I can 
not query each blocks meta-Data, can I?


Are you naming the block in the meta-data?  In vtkCompositeDataSet there is a 
method called GetMetaData 
(http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkCompositeDataSet.html#abcf79d23fc3a67138da3336e4cda2afe)
 that may be what you're looking for.

Andy
