Arun, Another way to do this is to assign various parts of the domain to different blocks, and write out the block id into the place of the UCD file that usually contains the material id. I do this using the python interface to cubit; it involves editing the UCD export script found at various places on the web. Check out the python interface manual that comes with cubit - it is fairly complete and usually useful. Also, emailing their support usually gets a quick response.
