Default Plotting over several linearly spaced circles

Hi All,

I have a tetrahedral mesh, each triangle over the top surface represents a value of a field (per element constant mesh).
Values are stored per triangle not in nodes, or etc.

The overall pattern over the surface shows an exponentially decay (circular) profile (please see attachment).

Currently I am using ParaView and do plotting over the line feature, through which I can plot the data over a line in one particular direction, say (in 2D coordinates) from (0,0) to (10, 10).

But the problem is that I see noises in my data so need to integrate/average field over all surface in 2D; not just along a line.

So I am thinking using several Radial scans (like creating several circles with growing radius), record values that circles passes through, average them and plot averaged values against distance from center.


But have no idea how could it be accomplished.

Could anyone help with that? Any other ideas are appreciated.

Thank you.
