Your volume containing the fields, the particle seeds and the surface of interactions if any.

> 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 See this webinar: [https://youtu.be/7WMaHXLK6No?si=4E1J2e3nBeCIp86G&t=1916](https://youtu.be/7WMaHXLK6No?si=4E1J2e3nBeCIp86G&t=1916)
