How to plot a contour of a zcoordinate on a surface
 
I'm trying to visualize surface elevation of an water/air interface using interFOAM result. First I made an iso-surface of volume-fraction (gamma = 0.5). Nect, I was trying to plot filled contour of z-coordinate on the iso--surface. I could not do it, because z-coordinate was not available in the data paraFoam read in.

Can someone help?

Then if you want transfer ascii data to binary, use tec2bin tool under the same topic.

Hope that helps. Good luck!
