[Paraview] Group scalars into a vector

[Cory Quammen]

Hi Nick,

You can use the Calculator to create a vector field from your three
scalar fields.

Say your three scalar fields are named X_VELOCITY, Y_VELOCITY, and
Z_VELOCITY. Then in the main text field just above the various
functions/operators, you should enter

(iHat*X_VELOCITY) + (jHat*Y_VELOCITY) + (kHat*Z_VELOCITY)

You can name the output field in the "Result Array Name" text field.

Best,
Cory
