Hi.
I’m working with a 2D axisymmetric swirl simulation exported from ANSYS Fluent in EnSight Case Gold format. After loading it into ParaView, I apply ExtractSurface followed by RotationalExtrusion (rotating 360° around the X-axis with a resolution of 200) to generate the corresponding 3D geometry. The rotation itself works well, and the geometry looks as expected.
However, I’m facing two issues. First, when I try to visualize scalar fields on a cross-sectional plane, I apply a Slice to cut across the pipe at the inlet. When I color this slice by water_vof, I only see a narrow ring or arc of non-zero values, while the rest of the slice appears blank or missing. It seems as if the scalar field isn’t being properly projected onto the full plane.
Second, I’m also struggling with stream tracing in this revolved geometry. I try to seed streamlines from the inlet surface using a Slice as the source, and apply a StreamTracer with velocity selected as the vector field. Regardless of whether I use a point cloud or a high-resolution line source, I get no streamlines.
Do you think I am doing something non-physical or something inherently wrong which cannot be handled by ParaVIEW?
