Dear David, Thanks a lot for your detailed suggestions. I will try these solutions after the result has been prepared.
By the way, if the original result is based on a 2D axial symmetrical model, can I do a rotation transformation to produce a 3D full cycle result? I will see how to submit a user voice to the website. Thanks again.
