[Paraview] Generate IDs

[Samuel Key]

Daniel,

I am not sure this a solution you will want?

I have unstructured meshes that have several (1 to 38) material domains. 
I use the EnSight gold binary format for my results. This format has a 
Part-construct. When writing out simulation results, each material 
domain becomes a distinct Part (distinct displayable graphics object).

PV's Extract Block filter allows me to select and display any 
combination of "Parts." From there, I am pretty sure you can execute the 
steps you want.

Regards,

Samuel Key, FMA Development
