[Paraview] Example vtk-formatted unstructured grid data files (*.pvd, *.pvtu, *.vtu)

[SamuelKey]

Manuel,

I have attached an example set of vtk-formatted
unstructured grid data files for your use.

The files are serialized in time (...t00n...).
I have used ParaView's parallel read capability
and written files "by-material" (...m00n...) as well.

The *.pvtu files are "mother files" at each time step
that identify the parallel components (in this case,
individual material domains).  ParaView doesn't
know (and doesn't care) that I wrote the respective
material domains as separate files during a single-cpu
serial execution.

The *.pvd files are "mother files" that preserve the
seperate material domains as Parts so that the
material domains (or however you have decomposed
your mesh) can be displayed in any combination
(individually turned "on" or "off") by the Extract Parts
filter. The Collection XML-tag has an undocumented
entry: name="abc...xyz"  If this entry is present, it will
be displayed in the Extract Parts filter's face-sheet,
an invaluable feature if you have a dozen different
items in the Collection.

One of the secrets to using the *.pvt? and *.pvd files
is to make each *.vt? file referenced by these "mother
files"  a self-contained individually displayable file.

Regards,

Sam Key
