[Paraview] Oilflow - Surface flow

[Richard GRENON]

Hello.

For an oilflow visualisation you should use the "Surface LIC" view mode.

First, you have to load this plugin at first start of Paraview: menu 
"Tools -> Manage plugins", select the "SurfaceLIC" plugin, and press the 
"Load selected" button as on image 1. You may also want to select the + 
sign before the "SurfaceLIC" line to show its sub-options and select 
"Auto load". Then you will not have to load the plugin again each time 
you start Paraview.

Then you need to build a surface object having a vector variable. If you 
have only scalar components vx, vy, vz of the vector, use the Calculator 
Filter to build the vector from its components writing a formula such as 
vx*iHat+vy*jHat+vz*kHat.

Then select the SurfaceLIC representation as on image 2

You also may want to set some LIC parameters in the Display tab of the 
selected object such as the vector variable to be used or other parameters.

Richard.
