Is it possible in post processing to plot a function of a scalar. example: If I want to plot square of the x-displacement?

Hi there Abbas!

Welcome to the forum!

Currently it is not possible to perform custom operations on the result fields (such as the Calculator filter in Paraview for example).

Maybe you could elaborate a little bit on why would you need this functionality? Maybe share a specific application case that can motivate our product team to consider the feature.

Hi there. As a researcher, I perform many post processing operations that are not very common among most FE analysts. An example is when I had to perform a Neuber’s elasto-plastic correction. Such post processing is important to me in identifying patterns in structural behaviour.

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation.

I will forward the query to our product team for their consideration.
