Thank you, Ken. I tried Calculation filter and got a good result! I used acos() function, so I couldn't extract whole cylindrical surface. But fortunately, my source data is quarter or half one. So it wasn't a problem for me.
At first, I thought the Calculator just as a calculating tool with Scalar or Vector values. But on your advice, I believed that is one of the typical post-processing tool of ParaView.
