[Paraview] Paraview Vtu to Exodus. Single block, multi element?

[Andi Hartarto]

Ken,

file. I still don't see the 2 element data fields?

I hope i didn't misunderstand anything or misphrase... The main idea is
that as shown in kenneth1.png, i need my element blocks to be of 2 arrays
not just 1. I can see its unnamed block id:5 but I want it to be following
my tetrahedral rank which is 1 and 2. In kenneth2. There is a clear
distinction of colors because i use my tetrahedral rank to color it. I
don't know how to make my block id = tetrahedra rank.

so my problem is actually:
How do i make object id = tetrahedrarank > hopefully this makes 2 data
arrays in element blocks.

Thank you,
Andi
