    Status: Open => Answered

Klaus Thoeni proposed the following answer:
If you load your intrs dataset (e.g. name-intrs.0...1000.vtp) into paraview 
you should see solid line indicating the interactions, if there are any. Make 
sure that interactions exist (they might not exist in the first timestep so 
check subsequent timesteps) and make sure the vtp-file you load into paraview 
includes the data to plot (check file with text editor).

Well once you can see you solid lines representing the interactions you just 
have to choose what you want to plot, e.g. forceN. Then follow the steps in 
the screen shoot provided by Vaclav and you have your force chains. The steps 
are:
- select you intrs dataset
- apply Filter: Cell Data to Point Data
- apply Filter: Tube
- select the Tube dataset and choose what you want to plot (e.g. forceN)
- play with the Tube properties in order to get the result you want (e.g. Vary 
Radius should be "By Scalar" in order to scale the tubes, play with Radius and 
Radius Factor)

I think this explains pretty much how it works.
