Hi  
I want to plot data along the circumference of the cross-section as shown in the attached image. I want to plot the wall shear along the perimeter of the pipe c/s. How should i proceed about this? I tried intersection of curves but it is not working.. thanks

Hi,  
I have shared my data. I want to plot some property along the circumference of any cross-section of the pipe.

Use PlotOnIntersectionCurve filter

So, when i do plotonintersection, it will plot the data along the line of intersection of the chosen plane and the 3D geometry? is that the thing? i have attached the figure from paraview for reference.

Yes, is that not what you want to do ?
