Hello everyone,  
I have just started using Paraview and FEniCSx. I am exporting stress and displacement data from FEniCSx in .xdmf format and visualizing it in Paraview. While plotting the deformed shape using displacement data and ‘Warp by vector’ filter, the undeformed shape is not removed even if it is selected in the menu. Can someone please suggest how to remove the undeformed shape while plotting the deformed shape in Paraview with xdmf data format.

Thanks in advance.
