How to deal with highly anisotropic mesh

[Methil]

Good morning everyone,

I am new with paraview and watching tutorials but I have an issue that is not frequently tackled in these.

My mesh is highly anisotropic as you can see. I have way more points in the horizontal than in the vertical but the vertical dimension is way bigger than the horizontal dimension. All i get when I display my data is a long long line with small squares in it when i zoom a lot.

I have tryed to enter 1E-4 in the “Vertical scale” category but it doesn’t change anything.

Does anyone knows what to do here?

I found that you can use the “transform” filter.

Axis Scale Factor or vertical exaggeration of Z axis?

In order to exaggerate Z-axis, you have to go three steps: Apply “Transform” filter to your data which you want to exaggerate Z-axis At the properties panel of Transform filter, you change the scale of Z-axis [pic1] At the same properties panel, go down to Axes Grid, click Edit to open Edit window (note: click Edit at Axes Grid, not Data Axes Grid) [pic2] In Edit window, go down to section: Data Transform. At this section, you have to change the scale of Z-axis again with the same va…
