Notes:
This paper describes a new contouring algorithm for isoparametric elements which can be used to map three-dimensional scalar fields. The contours are generated on arbitrary planes intersecting finite element structures. Tracing element contour lines is accomplished by an accurate predictor-corrector technique. A method of finding starting points for the algorithm on the boundary of the elements is also given.
