[Paraview] how do I view sidesets from exodus files?

[SamuelKey]

Kevin,

An easy exercise is to read your mesh data twice (something ParaView is 
quite happy to do) --

1) On the first read, omit the node-sets and side-sets and color the 
mesh white (actually produces shades of gray/silver).

2) On second read, only read node-sets and side-sets one-by-one.
Color them with whatever color pleases you. Be sure to increase the 
point size.

Now you can independently toggle the visibility of the mesh and side-set 
(or node-set) in question and determine if they are correctly specified.
