Hi everyone good morning.  
I have performed several CDF simulations and extracted wall shear stress maps on the surfaces of my models.  
The thing is that I can visualize the WSS maps in paraview. What I want to do is to visualize the WSS maps with the DICOM images.  
Is it possible to import a .vtk, .ply, or .3mf model and visualize the surface’s color maps ON the DICOM files?. Which format do I have to use to do this?  
Thanks!!

You can go to Models module’s Display / Scalars section to choose which array to display and set colormap, scaling, thresholding, etc. options.
