Working in a 2D simulation, I created the 2D geometric shape seen in the image. I would like to know if the PrePoMax can graph the temperature relating to the various points highlighted by the red line. Thank you very much. ![plot](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prepomax/original/2X/5/59e46d96b62c66e354be072a5abb383b659222f8.jpeg) ---

There’s no feature to plot the results along a line in PrePoMax but ParaView has such a tool called Plot Over Line. You can convert CalculiX results to VTK to postprocess them in ParaView. ---

Ok. Thank you very much. Giovanni ---

such a great feature when available in the future of PrePoMax. ![2015-09-02-04_18_14-paraview-4-3-1-32-bit](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prepomax/original/2X/5/518372cc0dd97dd8f2a7c8f63e6e27029ef31935.png) ---

For now, i solve it manually, reading point by point and writing them to a spreadsheet. Or in results, i create a History Output, i select many nodes, then i get a list of temperatures at nodes, i copy and paste them to a spreadsheet. But it is not very affordable.

If you prepare the line in advance so that there is a geometry edge, you can prepare the History output on the edge. If you enable coordinate output for the selected nodes, you can use coordinates in Excel to sort the nodes by one of the coordinates and compute distances between them. Then, you can create the required diagrams. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prepomax/original/2X/e/e92fea5cb3e7567b6668727d08655c4a8b205896.png) ---

Very Good. Thank you Giovanni
