Hello everyone
I want to plot such a side view plot for velocity. How I can plot it in paraview ? The side of pvd file is more than 4mb. I can’t able to upload it. Help me in plotting this side view or top view.

You can use two Slice filters with multiple slice planes (added using the Value Range table in advanced properties) to achieve such an effect.

Hi @qaz,
Thanks for posting your questions and welcome to the discourse!
If you are looking for some good basics on using ParaView you can find some resources here: [https://www.paraview.org/tutorials/](https://www.paraview.org/tutorials/). You should find some self-directed tutorials to follow as well as webinars around using ParaView in different settings.
Hope that helps!
Best regards,
Julien

In your case, the Properties tab is here:
and it should contain the filter options once it’s selected in the tree.

To open this .pvsm file, use File → Load State. You will be asked for file names/directories and you can either let it locate the data automatically or manually select the data files if the first option doesn’t work properly.
