<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<div><div class="h5"><br>

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>
