Hi! David!
Thank you for your help.

I am able to get to point data of Normals.
But if I select Normals, it is not displayed in paraview.( it means that 
behavior of the normal is not observed in paraview)
I analyze the axial symmetry model.
I use Extract Surface filter and generate surface normal filter.
Should  I use other filter??

Thank you 
Best regards
Yusuke
