Would it be possible to send a small example of your data to the list so we could try it out? If not, could you at least send a screen shot so we could have a look at the mesh? Right now I'm just making blind guesses.

I still haven't worked out why it's not working, but I notice that no data is registering in the Stream Tracer filter. It's mesh is empty - no points or cells - and the bounding information not available. I tried a high density Line Source, as you suggested, as well as increasing the number of seed points within the radial ball of the Point Source but without success. However, both the Line Source and the Point Source correctly display within the domain of the 3D vector field. The vectors themselves (from the glyph filter) display correctly.

It is probably either that the seeds are not intersecting the mesh or that vectors do not yield good lines. If you mesh is very thin or comprises surface elements, then chances are all the seed points are outside your mesh. The default point source is actually a point cloud with randomly selected points within a sphere of a certain radius. If your mesh is flat, the chance of any seed happening to hit it are extremely low. Try changing to a line source and see if that helps. It could be that the vectors your creating are not integrating well. It could be that the vectors are pointing off of the mesh (which is also common in thin or flat meshes). Thus it dies before it starts. Or perhaps it has some other feature that makes it difficult to integrate. -Ken From: Paul Graham <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Wednesday, November 6, 2013 2:40 PM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] Stream Tracer Problem Hi Everyone, I am unable to display a Stream Tracer and not sure what is going wrong. After creating a vector field using the Calculator Filter, I added the Stream Tracer filter using a point source seed (default setting). The point source origin is displayed but nothing else. Can anyone help me as to what I have to do to get the stream lines to show? Thanks in advance, Paul
