<div>You could use the Transform filter to establish a y translation. Then open the Animation View (View -> Animation View) and add a track for Transform – Translate (1). That will cause the translation to change over time.</div>

The other possible solution is I can perform a linear translation of the y-coordinates of all the files t=1 to N. And then use the absolute location function. Do you know how can perform that linear translation in y-coordinates seamlessly?

thanks<br>

<div>Hi David,<br>
Thanks for the reply. Selecting a nodal points does not really help. Please refer to the attached image. The body is evolving with time and assume the rectangle represents the mesh and the dot is the point I would like to follow i.e., the evolution of the
field variable at dot position with respect to time. Selecting the node does not help because the mesh is deforming and the nodal coordinate distance is increasing. I need some tool that keeps a constant distance from the top of the body.
<br>
<br>
Thanks

Dear All,<br>
I have a transient simulation results written to individual files. I would like to see the evolution of T(temperature) with respect to t (time) at a point attached to the body. The body moves with respect to time. I tried Plot over line, plot over selection
etc gives the plot at a fixed coordinates but my points have moved from the initial file. I am looking for something like evolution of T on the material coordinates.<br>
At step 0 : My point is at (x, y)<br>
At step 1: My point is at (x,y+deltay1)<br>
At step 3 My point is at (x,y+deltay2)<br>
<br>
Please provide me some guidance.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
