<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Try using the calculator to add that second field. Set the attribute mode to “Cell Data”, the “Result Array Name” to “Dummy”, and the Expression to 0. Now when
you write that out to an Exodus file you should have two element data fields: the original tetrahedral rank and the Dummy field you created.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">My problem is that I need to convert a vtu file into an exodus formatted file that reads several element block data. <br>
When I load my data in vtu, all i see is a white cubic block.<br>
This block has 2 data arrays named tetrahedra rank and tetrahedra number. When I change my coloring to tetrahedra rank, I can see 2 colors red and blue coloring my block.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><br>
I want to save the vtu file into an exodus format file and load it to another software but the other software only shows me the output of colors if there are several element blocks.<br>
In my case, the vtu file converted to exodus has only 1 element block. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">In paraview, I can go properties, add the variables of tetrahedra rank and then change coloring then i see what i want to see.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<br>
I don't know what should i do to change my vtu file with cell data of tetrahedra rank clearly showing the 2 data sets into 2 element blocks.<br>
I have tried to use edit> find data> extract selection > repeat for the next > group the data. <br>
I get a multi block data set. It didn't work. I need 1 block data set with 2 or more element data inside it. <br>

Please help, <br>
