Efforts Directions ??

Hello,

You do not need the spreadsheet view in ParaView for this. Just find the filters that allow you to compute the surface vectors of the mesh, and the one that allows integration of a field. You may also need to combine fields using the calculator.

Regards,

Hello

I am using paraview 4.1.0 and I cannot find the specific filter that can find the surface vector of the mesh. Does this have to do with the post processing output format. In Code_Saturne my postprocessing output is Ensight Gold format

Hello

Im sorry for my last post, the surface vector filter doesnt come out until the cell data is changed into point data. I dont know why that is..

So i have use the surface vector filter for my boundary and I am not sure what is it returning can somebody clarify to me what does the surface vector filter do.

I also realise that there are two option that i can twich

select input vector: efforts or tangential efforts
select constrain mode: parallel or perpendicular or perpendicular scale

can somebody explain to me what this do?
