combining density and velocity into single VDB file

First off, I am not very familiar with Houdini, I have used it in the past very little so please excuse my question if I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about, because I don't.

I have a sim that I have been working on in Blender and for whatever reason the VDB exporter inside blender spits out all grids as separate VDB files, e.g. density would be in one file and velocity would exist in another. I have attempted to combine these in Houdini to see if I can then re export into Maya/Arnold as a single VDB.

Is there a method of doing this? any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

I don't really think you need a VDBCombine. Try dropping down a Merge node and connecting your Files to that.

Thank you so much! I was pulling my hair out a bit with this.
