        &nbsp;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? <br>
        <br>
        thanks<br>

                  &nbsp;Thanks for the reply. Selecting a nodal points does
                  not really help.&nbsp; 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. &nbsp;
                  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>

                            I have a transient simulation results
