Hi Andy,

Thanks for the clarification. One minor question, after applying Merge Blocks is it still processing in serial mode or can i use MPI to improve the performance? By the way, i am also using NVIDIA Index plugin. I think that it supports parallel rendering but again not for multi block dataset. Right?

Regards,

Hi Ufuk,

ParaView doesn't currently support volume rendering of multiblock datasets, even in serial, so using the Merge Blocks filter is probably the best way to do any volume rendering of your dataset.

Cheers,
Andy

    Hi,

    I am trying to perform volume rendering (VR) using multi-block +
    multi-piece dataset. In this case, the data file has single block
    that contains multiple piece (created by MPI parallel simulation
    code) and it is in structured grid. When I try to use volume
    rendering with raw data, it creates empty output but if I use
    Merge Block filter before using volume rendering, it works without
    any problem. So, I have to use Merge Blocks to perform VR. At this
    point, I just wonder that is it typical behaviour of ParaView for
    multi-block + multi-piece datasets? Is it still possible to
    perform VR in parallel if I had a multiple core (such as enabling
    Auto MPI from the settings)? If not is there any way to
    re-structure the data to perform more efficient rendering?

    Best Regards,

    --ufuk
