[Paraview] Catalyst example on dynamic producer setup

[Luigi Calori]

Thank's for the prompt replay, we do not mind custom code the scripts, 
It would be good to have usage code examples
or pointers to open source projects that are using Catalyst in such a way.

Any hints will be really appreciated.

Best regards
Luigi
