[Paraview] Resolution of Iso-Surface generation

The "resolution" of an iso-surface is entirely dependent on the cell
(element) size of the input. The iso-surface filter will generate one
polygon per each appropriate cell. There are a few ways of making this
iso-surface look smoother.
1. Use normals. In some cases, the iso-surface filter will generate
normals. In cases it doesn't, you can use the "Normals Generation"
filter. The result this filter produces is not as nice as what the
contour filter can do but it's better than nothing.
2. Use subdivision (and normals). Try loop subdivision and normals
generation.
