<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Andy,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the clarification. One minor question, after applying
Merge Blocks is it still processing in serial mode or can i use
MPI to improve the performance? By the way, i am also using NVIDIA
Index plugin. I think that it supports parallel rendering but
again not for multi block dataset. Right?<br>
<br>

<div>ParaView doesn't currently support volume rendering of
multiblock datasets, even in serial, so using the Merge Blocks
filter is probably the best way to do any volume rendering of
your dataset.</div>

<div>Hi,</div>

<div>I am trying to perform volume rendering (VR) using
multi-block + multi-piece dataset. In this case, the
data file has single block that contains multiple
piece (created by MPI parallel simulation code) and it
is in structured grid. When I try to use volume
rendering with raw data, it creates empty output but
if I use Merge Block filter before using volume
rendering, it works without any problem. So, I have to
use <span

Blocks to perform VR. </span>At this point, I just
wonder that is it typical behaviour of ParaView for <span

perform VR in parallel if I had a multiple core
(such as enabling Auto MPI from the settings)?
If not is there any way to re-structure the data
to perform more efficient rendering?</span></span></span></div>
