All,

I would like to access the nodes of a particular sideset in an Exodus multiblock dataset. If I load that sideset Paraview creates a set of quads that pave the sideset. How can I access this set and know that it is the elements and nodes associated with SideSet “Unnamed set ID: 1000” for example?

Thanks for any hints.

Dennis
