[Paraview] Paraview 3.1.0 - ensight gold problem

[SamuelKey]

Greetings Adrian,

I use an EnSight Gold format with "parts," unstructured grids, multiple 
element types.

Is Temperature point or cell data for the hex8 elements?

Is Temperature point or cell data for the quad4 elements?

In my experience, each "part" is a separate displayable object. While 
the nodal points appear "unique" to each "part" in the ParaView data 
set, the nodal points have the exact same coordinates since the quad4 
are overlaying the hex8 surface (at least, in my data sets they would).

With quad4's overlaying the hex8 surface being coincident, I think you 
may seeing a visual competition between the display from each part?

Regards,

Sam Key
