ParaView hasn't handled multiple XDMF Domains well in a _long_ while or maybe ever (Two.4 might have). This is because ParaView doesn't like it when the high level structure of the data changes. This could happen when you pick a different domain and suddenly the reader has to switch from producing a single structured grid to a multi block containing tens of unstructured grids for example.
I can think of two alternatives: * After you read in the data you have, use the extract block filter to choose which of the two grids you want to work with. * Write two separate files and read each one in turn.
