Plotting vectors same as indicating particle positions in DPM?

  Hi
  In an unsteady DPM calculation, if I plot the dpm-mean vectors does it give an Eulerian represntation of the particle velocities? I was thinking if the vectors represent the actual particles, then I can just reduce the size of the vectors and get the particle spatial distribution (tracks) on the surface? Is this possible?

  What DPM mean vector? Pictures please to show what you're plotting & how.

  HI- i have attached the screenshot. I wanted to get the particle spatial distribution on the outlet or any other surface. For that I am thinking of plotting in-plane vectors and reducing the vector size so that it represents the particle positions/spatial distribution. And in vector option i turned on the in-plane option. In short I think will it give the same thing as plotting particle tracks on the surface?
