RES: [Paraview] Probing a solution position over time

[Renato N. Elias]

Hi Berk,

I've already tried this but I was not able to understand what PV returned me
as CVS file. I did the following steps:

1. probe;
2. put the line as probe object at the desired position to track the
solution fluctuation;
3. turned on the XY plot (100 resolution points);
4. Selected the desired variable;
5. Played animation (PV updated the XY plot correctly);
6. Exported the CVS file.

My problem was that with 381 time steps Paraview produced only 101 probing
points and a sequence of zeroes (see below). I was expecting 100
(resolution) x 381 (time step) points. What's wrong, me or Paraview ;-)

Actually, it is possible :-) Here is how you do it:

probe
turn on xy plot
setup an animation in time (this happens automatically with some readers)
play you can also export the curve with export cvs
