Exodus import, toggle by element type
** FEATURE REQUEST ** For many finite element analysis (e.g., the Sierra suite of solvers) solvers, many field variables are only applicable to certain types of elements (e.g., stresses at particular integration points through the thickness of shells). Considering only the Exodus database format, loading all element blocks and visualizing such a field variable results in other elements being displayed in a color that starkly contrasts with the rest of the visualization, polluting the display. For output Exodus databases containing numerous (100s to 1000s) element blocks of different element formulations, the process of manually selecting or deselecting element blocks based on element formulation is a tedious process. If instead the element formulations were gathered upon reading the metadata of an Exodus output database, a user had the ability to toggle particular types of elements (e.g., BEAM, TRIANGLE, SHELL, ...), the process of visualizing and postprocessing results would be streamlined.
