[Paraview] input for the plot-over-line filter

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Thomas,

Is is possible to share a sample dataset (and maybe even the state
file you're using)? That would help identify the problem.

Thanks
Utkarsh

If I use the volume solution as input to plot-over-line, some sections of the velocity profiles are omitted - for whatever reason they are set to zero or NANS. However, if I use a slice filter (or a plane) of the volume as input to plot-over-line, then the velocity profiles are complete. Note that I have used the same values for point1 and point2 in plot-over-line. See the attached file that depicts an example of the velocity profiles for dashed blue the volume input and solid red the slice input. (Note that the data omissions for the volume input can appear anywhere in the profile).

For a slice as input I would need to form a suitable slice/plane for each surface station - it is assumed that each surface position would require a different plane.
