<div>That should work. Is it possible that the physical space of the two geometries do not overlap? Go to the information panel and look at the Bounds for the scalar field and the surface geometry. The bounds should overlap. If they do not, then you can use
the Transform filter to move/scale one or both so that they are arranged in the same space.</div>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">How do you map a scalar field onto a surface geometry (STL file) please?<br>
<div>
<div>
<div><br>
I have a structured 3d array of values such as velocity, density, temperature etc...<br>
</div>
</div>
and I want to map that onto a surface geometry, such as a motorbike for example.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I have tried the "Resample with Dataset" method, (input=scalar field, source=surface geometry) but I'm just getting a null field (zeros) for whichever scalar I then select to display on the surface.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Thanks UFO-CFD</div>
