Dear Paraview community,  
Any suggestions for the most efficient way for plotting stress over the nodes (blackened) ?

Hi Aakash,

Do you want to plot stress values in nodes over the nodes? Do you consider only part of all the nodes (blackened ones) or all the nodes?

Best Regards,  
Pavel

Hi Mr. Pavel,  
Sorry for my late response. I was interested in the blackened nodes.

Thanks with kind regards,  
Aakash

Hello,

You could use _Interactive Select Points On_ tool:

 ![Selecting_the_nodes](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/default/original/2X/5/59bd1678a4baf115898f3cd0b758a6af0d50e6cf.png)

with _Edit-\>Find Data_:

After selecting that blackened nodes one-by-one you should see something similar to this:

Hope it helps you.

All the best,  
Pavel
