[Paraview] Feature request - Need more detailed control of generating nodal quantities from element results

[Berk Geveci]

Hi Alan,

You are correct (although (1) is somewhat unclear - are we talking about
Exodus files that have different element sets here?).

I would also recommend this document:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/images/7/78/VTK-Quadrature-Point-Design-Doc.pdf
which explains the current integration (gauss) point support. It doesn't do
what he wants but it's worth a read.

Best,
-berk
