I am forwarding your request to the nektar-users list to see if anyone else has an answer. We do not have a specific function for this currently unless someone else has implemented it. We do have some features in FieldConvert to extract a box or plane of points. Whilst these methods are now callable from the solvers this would be very costly since it would search out for the points in the mesh at every call and to make this more efficient you should ideally only be searching for the points to extract once and then only interpolate every time you wish to extract this information. This is currently how the history points filter works.

Hello,

I am currently doing 3D ADR simulations on a 3D domain.

What I really need is to probe the variables, but not on specific

point(s), on a 2D mesh of a unit sphere which is contained in the

3D domain. This means probing on nodes of the triangular

grid of the sphere which is in 2D.

Please could you let me know if there is an straightforward way to probe fields

on the nodes on this 2D mesh.

Best,

Ronald
