phsieh2005 Senior Member Pei-Ying Hsieh Join Date: Mar 2009 Posts: 334 Rep Power: 18	Dear OpenFOAMers, I completed a pimpleFoam case. I would like to calcuate flow rate through a "selected" cross-section in paraview. Is it possible? In paraview, after I extracted the cross section I wanted, I tried to use the Calculator function. I saw the U vector, but, I do not see A so that I can do a U dot A to get flow rate. Can someone point to me a dirction? I am using OpenFOAM-2.1.x with paraview-3.12 on OpneSUSE 12.1. thanks! Pei-Ying
