[Paraview] Multiple Domains with XDMF

[Armin Wehrfritz]

I faced some weeks ago essentially the same problem. I can just 
recommend you to write separate files for each grid  (if somehow 
possible), it will save you a lot of trouble in many perspectives.

P.S.: With ParaView state files you can still "load" several files, i.e. 
grids, at the same time - a very handy feature. ;)
