[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] filter to use for data analysis in ParaView (UNCLASSIFIED)

Hi Alan,

Yes I believe can read the data in twice or load the undeformed data and let
the deformation run and get the differences. Thanks for the idea. I am going
to give it a try.

Thanks

Simon,
Could you read your data in twice, deform only one of the them, and use the
sources/ ruler?

Other thing I can think of is to start at time 0, undeformed.  Select your
point.  Open a spreadsheet window.  Select point data.  Show only Selected
Nodes/Elements.  Write down this location.  Now, go to your desired deformed
time step.  You now have the second location, and can figure out the
distance.

Alan

Hello,

I am trying to do some data analysis in ParaView. The simulation data shows
the deformation of a surface. What pipeline can I use to find out the
distance of the deformed surface from its original mesh? Can it be done with
filters like Plot Over Line?

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated

Thanks
