[Paraview] Correctly Parallel Processing of OpenFoam results using pvserver

[Leonard Cassady]

David,

   I do not have a chooser for "case type".  I found a web page that shows
the "case type" chooser.  They were opening a .foam file.  I have .OpenFOAM
case.

   Should I consider converting the foam to VTK?
