Hi to all the forum members,

I'm working with a CFD code, that generates VTK files for the post processing analysis. The VTK files are in ASCII format, and contains a 3D unstructured grid.
I implemented in the code a subroutine that writes on the VTK files the velocity vector, in order to have the capability to plot the streamlines. All the data, contained in the files, are cell centered.

The files are correctly loaded by Paraview 4.4 but when I try to plot the streamlines it doesn't work. In other words Paraview plots the 3D absolute velocity behaviour (subdivided in: magnitude, v_x, v_y and v_z) but when I apply the streamlines filter the results is: nothing!

I try also to apply the filter that convert the cell data to point one and then the streamlines filter, but the result is the same.

An extract of the VTK file:
