[vtkusers] How to extract nodesets and sidesets for Exodus data

[Slaughter, Andrew E]

I have been working on this for sometime and still haven't come up with a
solution, is there anyone who could help me find a solution, if it is
possible?

I will provide another description of what I am trying to accomplish:

(1) I would like to read an ExodusII file that contains BLOCKS, SIDE_SETS,
and NODE_SETS. When reading the file I want to enable everything
(SetAllArrayStatus enabled for each type).

(2) I would like to extract the various parts (each BLOCK, SIDE_SET,
NODE_SET) so that I can create a unique geometry->mapper->actor objects.
This will enable me to show any combination of the parts, each with a
different colormap, etc., but with only a single reader open.

I was able to get number (2) working using vtkExtractBlock for BLOCKS, but
I can't figure out how to also extract out the SIDE_SET and NODE_SET. One
idea I have was to use vtkExtractCell, but was unable to find the correct
methodology for that idea.

Is this type extraction possible? If so, any hint in the correct direction
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Andrew
