[Paraview] Slice on arbitrary surface

[Sven Buijssen]

Ruggiero,

Your Ensight case file is read in as a multi-block dataset. Please run
the filter "Merge Blocks" prior to applying "Resample With Dataset".
After that temperature and velocity from your Ensight case file are
available as point data arrays on the intersecting surface. (It seems
"Resample With Dataset" has still some difficulties with multi-block
datasets. In older PV versions, it was not even directly applicable to a
multi-block dataset.)

Sven
