The post shows how to display the normals of cells on the 3D model by ParaView.
The general steps are in the demo video.
1. Clip model for better watching
2. Add normals filter
3. Show wireframe for better watching
Here is a video to show how to change the density of model by MeshMixer, then compare the new model and old model in ParaView. The general steps are in the following part.
The affine transform in the 3D world can be represented by a 4×4 matrix. If there is no scale in the affine transform, the vector is translate vector and A is the rotate matrix. The original point’s position is representing by M, the changed point’s position is M’. Read more…
Cross Product Let’s define vector and and their cross product . As known that , so we have: The cross product is antisymmetric due to its definition. Dot Product So we can write the dot product of two vectors as the matrix form. Read more…

the action scale works in the three directions axis X, axis Y and asix Z. So the scaling transform I want to create needs to rotate by 45 degrees around asix Z, then apply scale(2, 1, 1). But the new transform will rotate cube surely. How to scale the cube without rotating or translating it?
