I want to create a cutting plane with the values of the total pressure, but i cannot figure out the proper way to write it in the cuttingPlane dict.I use a function from pressure tools to calculate the field of total pressure and as an output i get a file similar to U with the name total(p). But when I try to use the name of the field in the cuttingPlane dict the plane that is created is empty (it's like I have done a typo or something like that). I have tried to use "total(p)",'total(p)', total(p).* , ptot , "ptot" ,'ptot'. Thanks for your time in advance!
