Hi @otaolafr

It’s a plugin, you need to load it. Tools → Plugin Manager → LagrangianParticleTracker

> I was looking to trace the path that lagrangean particles followed during my simulation that I did in OpenFOAM, I assume that this could be the correct filter?

It is not, if you have temporal particle you want to trace lines with, using ParticlePathToPathLines
