Hi everyone,

I have a 3D geometry with unstructured mesh and I would like to extract history data from locations that are not defined by mesh nodes (or points).

Is there any possible way to do this in Paraview?

Thanks  
Ali

To interpolate values at points that are not in your mesh, you can try the `ProbeLocation` filter.

Thank you so much for your reply. I will learn how to use this filter.
