[Paraview] Oilflow - Surface flow

[Lorenzo]

Thank you Richard.

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't get anything…
Once I've built the vector as U_X*iHat+U_Y*jHat+U_Z*kHat with the calculator, what should I do? Also, as my velocity is 0 on the surface, I think this vector I built equals (0,0,0) everywhere… Isn't it?

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.
