Jimmy,

I have had success with two different ParaView readers doing what you have described.

It is material domains that I want to examine as distinct. However, ParaView does not care if it is a serially-generated set of material domain, a set of processor domain results, or any criterion you want to use. Each domain needs to be a "displayable graphics object."

Case(1) *.vtp XML format

Case(2) EnSight Gold format using that format's Part-construct.

In either case, ParaView's Extract Group filter allows one to select any combination of domains to display. Multiple extracted sub-domains can appear together in one window and/or in separate windows.

A small file that will let you explore this capability is attached.

Hello,

We generate several segments of polygonal meshes and our client wants
to store them into a single file and to view on Paraview.  Since the
data contains several pre-segmented mesh pieces, they want to view
each piece separately in Paraview. Is there a file format supporting
composite datasets and has a Paraview interface to show some of them?

We have looked into .vtp and .pvtp formats.
For .vtp XML format, although we can store different segment in
different <piece> tags, Paraview seem to regard them as one piece of
data.
For .pvtp format, each component is stored into a different file,
which is not what our client want.

Although we can always create our reader plugin for Paraview, I am
wondering whether there already exists this kind of file format saving
segments in one file, with a segment-selectable Paraview interface.


Thanks and have a nice day.
Jimmy Chen
