I have a set of burners I have modeled that are in a row, flames going up in the positive Z direction. I visualize the 3D flames using a CO=2500ppm isosurface (contour) in Paraview. I want to slice through that isosurface (at say Y=2.5) and then be able to extract an X-Z plot showing all points where the CO isosurface is bisected by the slice plane.

The end goal is to plot the flame length along the row of burners.

So essentially I want to specify a plant (Y=2.5) and then have Paraview return (so I can export to a CSV file) all data points where CO = 2500ppm.

What is easiest way to do that?

1. Select your isosurface in the Pipeline Browser on the left.

2. Click the slice button, or go to Filters > Alphabetical > Slice

3. Set the slice origin and normal direction in the Slice data proxy's Properties tab (and hit Apply)

4. Then, with the slice selected, make a new View (one of the split buttons in the upper right of your Render View), and choose SpreadSheetView

The spreadsheet view should then show the coordinate locations of each vertex in your slice. If it doesn't, select your RenderView, hit the "Select Cells On" button, and highlight all of the Slice. Your spreadsheet should update.

Then, you can plot the data or dump the spreadsheet to Excel ("Export Spreadsheet" button at the top), etc.

Thanks much to forgeanalytics. That works great.
