When I try to open it in paraview: it is a 2D not 3D, 2D I want to display Dlike this: 3D i’m sorry for bad English and less infomation.

Solution

  • The most simple way to do that is to use the Extrusion Surface representation. https://blog.kitware.com/a-new-embossing-representations-plugin-for-paraview/

    • Open ParaView
    • Tools -> Manage Plugins -> Embossing Representations
    • Create a new view
    • Open your file
    • Switch representation to Extrusion Surface

    enter image description here

    Only Available since ParaView 5.6.0. Keep in mind this is only a representation, not a change to the actual data. If you want to change the data, you will have to use CellDataToPointData and WarpByScalar, which will require more tweaking.
