Hi I'm trying to create an animation with paraview for a OpemFoam simulation of a wind turbine, and I want that the results looks like the following pictures. What filter do I have to use to create something like this?, or paraview is not the solution to me.

This RAR file shows the animation of my results that I want to improve




or this:

This is what I guess has been used:

  1. Stream tracer filter of the internal domain (+solid view of the wind turbine's mesh region)
  2. This might be an ISO Volume, not sure though, since I never used that filter. (Looking at http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaVie...ist_of_filters there might be more than just one filter that offers this). Again the solid view of the boundary as well.
  3. The last one seems to be like the second one, but additionally has a slice included (most likely combined with the contour filter)

Thanks for your answer, but I canīt figure out how to do it do you know about any step by step tutorial, or something?
