[Paraview] Point Sprite help needed

[Vincent Faucher]

Hi Chris,

To visualize Discrete Elements as Point Sprites with variable radius, 
here are the strategy I use:

1/ Check how the radii are stored:
     1.1/ If it is in a cell field, use 'cell data to point data' to 
copy it to the points
     1.2/ Then, if it contained with other data on a vector, use the 
Calculator to extract it as a scalar

2/ Select the Point Sprite representation : in the display tab, you can 
choose your scalar field to scale your sprites.

Don't hesitate to ask if it is not detailed enough.

Regards, Vincent
