I have an Exodus II type file loaded into Paraview and trying to get the point ID for a group of cells. I know for vtk type object there are functions like GetCell(), GetPoint()<br>

Yes, the ExodusII reader outputs VTK objects in a multiblock dataset. You can use GetCell(), GetPoint(), and such on each individual block... you just have to decide on a particular block. The ExodusII reader separates things into blocks because each one may have different point and/or cell variables. There are actually 2 levels of blocks; the top level segregates datasets into groups that correspond to exodus blocks vs. sets. The second level breaks individual blocks or sets into separate datasets. Does that help?<br>
