Hi Zhigao,<br><br>If you are writing a reader or filter that returns a multi-block data set you can name a block with the following:<br><br> MULTI_BLOCK_DATA_SET->GetMetaData(BLOCK_NUMBER)->Set(vtkCompositeDataSet::NAME(), "PUT_NAME_HERE");<br>
<br>If you are just using ParaView you can use the "Extract Block" filter and select the blocks you are interested in. In the pipeline browser you can change the name from "ExtractBlock1" to something more meaningful.<br>
