<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">All, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Okay, maybe not the clearest email I’ve ever written!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">See the attached image: Here I have loaded a single block out of a multi-block dataset.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is the 24<sup>th</sup> block in the dataset.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It was assigned the block_ID 101 at creation (we separate different blocks into different number ranges)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, it is shown in the Spreadsheet view as Block Number 25 (24+1)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, I need the Block_Name of this block. The block name is stored under:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Input.GetBlock(0).GetMetaData(23).Get(vtk.vtkCompositeDataSet.NAME()) (23=24-1)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In order to retrieve the name, I need to find the Block Number 25 (and subtract 2 from it).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been unable to find this block_number. I can’t count blocks to find out the block_number, because my Programmable filter only has this 1 block in it.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, does anyone know where this “Block Number” is stored? I’m wishing at this point that the Exodus reader had stored the block names in a dictionary with BlockID (ObjectID) as the key – then I could find the name.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any clues on how to determine the Block Number?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dennis<o:p></o:p></p>
