Hi Davood,

The ExodusIIReader is a rewrite of the ExodusReader. It outputs  
multiblock datasets rather than a single unstructured grid, so there  
is less overhead involved in representing blocks with different  
variables defined on them.

The output from vtkExodusIIReader that identifies the block as "QUAD9"  
is reflecting the contents of the Exodus file, not the output of the  
reader.
