Dear Paraview experts, I completed a CFD calculations which contains, U (velocity field) and p (pressure field).  I used extract selection to select a cross section.  I then would like to calculate the flow rate through this cross section, ie, U dot A.  I tried to use the Calculator function.

Use Generate Normals before the calculator and Integrate Variables after. Also try the Surface Flow which I does all three operations at once. David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc. RD Engineer 21 Corporate Drive Clifton Park, NY 12065-8662 Phone: 518-881-4909 On Wed, Apr 25, 2012 at 11:09 AM, Pei-Ying
