      In a few instances it is desired to write DPM sample files passing through a certain post processing surface such as iso-surfaces created within a Fluent session. However, such surfaces are not available to choose while writing DPM sample files via Report -> Discrete Phase -> Sample option. The workaround is to create planes from the iso surfaces which can be used for writing dpm files. (Note that this only works with planar iso surfaces at this point)
