<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi,<br><br></div>The vtu format is for unstructured (non-multiblock) grids. For multiblock grids like the ones read in from an xmf file you will need to convert it to an unstructured grid. You an use the Merge Blocks filter to do that.<br><br></div>Is there a strong reason for saving it as a vtu file? It sounds like there are better file formats available for your data set.<br><br></div>Andy<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 26, 2017 at 12:24 PM, houssen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:houssen@ipgp.fr" target="_blank">houssen@ipgp.fr</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">In paraview, I open a xmf file, I would like to export it as vtu (to read it later on with vtkUnstructuredGridReader): neither "save data" nor "export scene" allows this (save data suggest the .vtm format but it turns out that vtm can not be read later on by vtkUnstructuredGridReader as vtu is expected - I guess ?). Same problem when opening a stl file in paraview: can not export it as vtu.<br>
<br>
How can I export a xmf/stl fle as vtu ? Do I need a (existing ?) plugin ? If yes, which one ? Is there a work around ? Or is this a dead end ?<br>

PS: I have paraview-5.1.0, should I compile a newer version ?<br>
