[Paraview] Mass weighted, mass flow weighted averages.

[Andy Bauer]

ParaView was designed as a general viz & analysis tool so it doesn't have a
lot of built-in short cuts for doing complex operations that are tailored
to specific analysis domains (e.g. CFD). This works well when you want to
do something slightly off from "standard" because you can control each step
of a multi-step process. If you have repetitive tasks that you're doing
ParaView has ways to automate them (state files, Python scripts, macros) to
save you time. If you really want to speed up those tasks and make it very
streamlined to your analysis domain, ParaView can be customized for that as
well. It's just a matter of effort for how streamlined you want ParaView to
be for your workflow.

Best,
Andy
