Dear All,  
I provide as input to ParaView, the position of several spheres and their radius.  
Then, I select a specific slice of my 3D domain.  
I am interested in obtaining, as output, the total volume of this slice either occupied or not by spheres.

Regards,  
Katia

Hi,

I think that you can just apply the Integrate Variables filters to your slice. In the SpreadSheet view select the “Attribute” = “CellData”. This will display the integrated volume.
