Ok both solutions works well, although MergeBlock makes a conversion, which could actually be desirable.This raises a question: except from being a more economic storage scheme, is there any benefit of having a curvilinear grid rather than an unstructured one, regarding algorithm complexity? My particular concern is to determine which cells of 2 grids intersect the other grid.Anyway thx for your help. > From: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2011 12:53:25 -0500 > Subject: Re: [Paraview] Bug in ExtractBlock? > To: [email protected] > CC: [email protected]; [email protected] > > Actually, a better solution is to apply the Merge Blocks filter after > the Extract Block filter.
