[Paraview] Accessing field and wind blade data (together) in python filter

[David E DeMarle]

One thought that comes to mind is the Resample with DataSet filter,
which is a filter which has the effect of merging pipeline branches
together.

Set the Input to be the field and the Source to be the blade and the
result will be a copy of the blade with the data values of the field
sampled onto the points of the blade.
