[Paraview] Surface Development on ParaView

[Magician]

Thank you, Ken.

I tried Calculation filter and got a good result!
I used acos() function, so I couldn't extract whole cylindrical surface.
But fortunately, my source data is quarter or half one.
So it wasn't a problem for me.

At first, I thought the Calculator just as a calculating tool
with Scalar or Vector values.
But on your advice, I believed that is one of the typical
post-processing tool of ParaView.
