Hi, guys, I need your help. As mentioned the above picture, How do you refine the results to be as smooth as the second figure?  
Thank you very much.

Welcome to the ParaView Community, @fchu.

Instead of a **Threshold** filter, you could use a **Contour** filter. Instead of clipping entire cells that result in the jagged surface, the **Contour** filter will perform linear interpolation within cell boundaries and produce a smoother result like in the example you provided. Set the contour value in the table under the “Isosurfaces” section in the _Properties_ panel to the same as the threshold value that separates the spherical objects from the rest of the simulation domain.

I highly recommend spending some time going through the [self-directed tutorial](https://docs.paraview.org/en/latest/Tutorials/SelfDirectedTutorial/index.html) to learn about ParaView’s capabilities and how it views the visualization process.
