Dear all, i want to visualize the directions of principle stresses computed by a finite element solver in paraview. I got the directions of these stresses as vectors. I used the legacy vtk file format. I choosed the unstructured grid dataset with triangle elements for the grid(as they are in the FE solver). For the vectors i choosed CELL_DATA and every cell got an vector. I used the glyph filter to visualize these vectors ( CELL CENTERS-> GLYPH), but is there an other possibility to do that? Not as arrows or so, but to get a result like streamtracers? Interpolated lines? Streamtracers doesnt work here, because i think they have a direction and the principle stresses have no direction. I tried the Surface LIC representation, but i got no other result as with the surface representation. To cut a long story short: I have vectors as CELL_DATA and a unstructured grid and i want to visualize them as closed lines over the grid. And not with the glyph filter, that works but I would prefer this other representation. I'm new in paraview so i hope you can help me with this topic and I'm looking forward for your answers.
Greetings, Eric
