Or just run the merge blocks filter first like the man says.<br>
<br>
[But actually. The merge blocks filter, uses a vtkAppendFilter - which
is a memory hog - then you pass the output of this into another
appendfilter - on large datasets this will be terrible. Much better to
add multiblock support to the appendfilter so that it only has to do
the memnory allocation once.]<br>

The exodus reader is no doubt exporting multiblock data, so the<br>
SafeDownCast will fail. Add an extra test for Multiblock and then use an<br>
iterator to loop over blocks and then safedowncast and do what you need<br>
