[vtkusers] VTK or Paraview example to visualize Plot3D unformatted structured multiblock grid + solution file

[Berk Geveci]

Which data format to use depends on a few different things. I am
assuming the data is structured (curvilinear). Is your data parallel?
Do you seek compatibility with other applications? How are you writing
the file, directly from the simulation or through a converter? Using
which programming language?
