It is, just open your file and display the field you want.

Additionally, to get those arrows in the vector field, use the `Glyph` filter.

@PALANI - welcome to the ParaView community!

In my opinion, one of the best ways for a beginner to learn post-processing with ParaView, including how do to what you asked about, is to follow the excellent [ParaView Tutorial](https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/The_ParaView_Tutorial) @Kenneth_Moreland has put together and updated throughout the years.
