Hello everyone,

I have a doubt when plotting over line.

My mesh is 16 levels in the Z direction and 4 meters deep, and some levels are spaced as shown below:  
% Depht (m)  
100 4  
85 3.4  
70 2.8  
60 2.4  
50 2  
40 1.6  
30 1.2  
20 0.8  
15 0.6  
10 0.4  
8 0.32  
5 0.2  
3 0.12  
1 0.04  
0.5 0.02  
0 0

The quotation presented refers to the total depth.

When I plot in the Z direction, the settings appear as follows.

The first point is seen to start at 0.2667m. This corresponds to approximately 5% of the total depth. Points that are located in smaller percentages (0.5%, 1%, etc.) do not appear to be contact for the calculation.

Can anyone tell me if this is a limitation of Paraview, or if there is any lucar that I can edit?

When I set the starting point to zero, and export the data, the excel files look like this

Speeds only appear after Z point 0.268,apparently there are 4 levels being ignored

Você quis dizer: [Na _ **visualização** __ **aparece** _ apenas 14 níveis](javascript:void(0))

41/5000

In the visualization only 14 levels appear

There is no such limitation in ParaView.

Can you share your dataset and explain what you are trying to do ?
