[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Re: Plot probe value over time

Hi David,

I have it working now!
It turned out that 1) and 2) were the problems. I have learned that clicking into a 2D geometry (with z=0) for the probe location does not necessarily give a probe which is actually in the 2D body (the probe output was zero because the z coordinate was nonzero - when I manually set it to zero, the probe output becomes nonzero). Furthermore, selecting the probe with the mouse is not always successful, I sometimes have to use the spreadsheet.

Thank you for your help!

Matthias
