[General] Smaller slice plane in paraview

pssk1988 · August 26, 2016, 08:21

The Slice option in Paraview with selection "plane", has a "origin" and "normal" to define the plane.
I am trying to export the slice data in csv format. However, the simulation domain is very large and therefore the slice also is quite large (which needs to be processed in matlab further). I need only the specific region of the slice. Is it possible to reduce the slice by creating a plane based on points by user or any other alternatives?

Hi,

Firstly, use the clip filter to cut the domain smaller and then slice filter.

Best, Mikko

It is better to do the slice and then the clip. The other way around blows the memory!
