[Paraview] particle tracking

[Bastil2001 at yahoo.de]

I am wondering what the state of this is? I am very interested in this
feature. Up to new I used Johns workaround but iso-clipping the
streamlines makes my Paraview 3.6.1 crash without any further comment.

I don't think this answers Pei's question. To my knowledge the

temporal stream tracer (i.e. particle tracker) works only for

time-dependent data. Am I wrong? To animate particles in a

steady-state flow field, I'd think that you would generate streamlines

and then somehow animate particles along those. I can't think of

anything that would do this out-of-box but writing a  filter that does

this would be pretty easy. Is this something more than a few users

would want?
