Hi Samuel, thanks for the response. My line is on a boundary which remains a strait line so there is no worry of the line becoming curved. My data set contains mesh node points which are fixed in time, along with the nodal displacements which give the deformed configuration when the warp filter is applied. I can do what you describe but this will give me the POL of the undeformed configuration. What I want to do here is get a plot over line on the warped mesh, since I need to compute an integral along the warped edge.

Thanks
Colin

Quoting Samuel Key <[email protected]>:

Colin,

A not necessarily straight forward way is to use the Warp filter to
remove the mesh motion (assumes you have the displacement vector as a
point value in your datum set). Then the POL Filter end-points remain
fixed with respect to the two nodes over which you initially placed the
end-points.

However, implicit in this approach is that the POL Filter's line is a
material line and deforms with the material, probably not remaining a
straight line as the time (or loading) progresses. It may or may not be
the result for which you are looking?

Hello all, I would like to use a plot over line filter where the line is defined by two nodes on the mesh, which move in time, rather than defining the line with two fixed spacial points. Is it possible to do this with the POL filter as is, or will this require some extra scripting?

Thanks
Colin
