Hello everyone,

I am using Paraview's Volume Render plot to visualize a velocity field inside 
some technical equipment. In case of plotting a component of the vector field 
or the magnitude of the vector (both from the drop-down menu) with volume 
render I get unreasonable results, e.g. minimum or maximum zones are not shown 
correctly or the flow direction seems wrong. However, if I calculate a scalar 
value from the vector that corresponds to the component or to the magnitude 
(e.g. using the calculator filter in Paraview) and then plot by volume render, 
the fluid field is represented correctly.

The data itself seems OK since a surface or slice plot leads to the same 
(correct) results, no matter  whether I use the vector component directly or 
the scalar value. I tested the behavior with several data sets. I am using 
Paraview 4.3.1 64-bit and Paraview 5.1.2 64-bit - both show the same behavior.

I appreciate any comment.

Best regards
Mathias Dietzel
