For what it is worth, the EnSight format is easier to get up and
running.<br>
<br>
Quicker might be writing out the individual blocks into
XML-formatted *.vtu or *.vts files and then referencing them
collectively with a single *.pvd file. It is important when writing
out single blocks to a *.vtu or *.vts file to think in terms of
"graphically displayable" objects.<br>
<br>
If it can help, I have attached a Fortran file that writes
ASCII-text, XML-formatted *.vtu files and a *.pvd file, a meta-file
(mother-file, table-of-contents-file, ...).<br>
The nice thing about a *.pvd file is that it is ASCII text and
easily edited to limit the amount of results read into ParaView. For
example, a 3x3x3 set of blocks in the midst of a couple of hundred
blocks. The attached writer, uses the VTK "parallel generated parts"
concept to aggregate the blocks produced from a serial run.<br>

<div>I have a user that is choosing a format for writing a
multiblock data set comprising blocks of regular grids with
cell-centered data. Any suggestions on the easiest format
to write to that ParaView can currently read?</div>
