I unsuccessfully visualized the slice of cfd simulation results conducted using OpenFoam. In the beginning when I used a model without thickness, I could visualize the slicing. But, when I simulated some models with thickness, I could not get the image, but just received the attached message. Please advice.

I’m able to slice through your data using ParaView 6.0.1 without issues:

Dear Matheu Westphal,
Thank you for your message. It appears that the issue may be related to my ParaView setup. Initially, I was able to visualize the Cp values using the _Calculator_ (equation) filter, and the equation itself worked correctly. However, the resulting Cp field was merged with the existing _p_ and _U_ fields. When I later attempted to modify the equation, it no longer functioned as expected.
In your opinion, would it be advisable to uninstall ParaView and perform a clean reinstallation?

Which version of the paraview app is the most stable?
