We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

      1. Create a point (Insert > Location > Point). We’ll assume the point is called Point 1 in this example. 2. Set the Definition Method to Node Number, Variable Maximum, or Variable Minimum. For Variable Maximum or Minimum, the search can be refined by setting the Location. This Location can be a domain, boundary, or a user location like an isosurface, line, etc… 3. Create the following expressions (Insert > Expression) which will return the x, y, z coordinate values of the point. xcoord = probe(X)@Point 1 ycoord = probe(Y)@Point 1 zcoord = probe(Z)@Point 1 These expressions can then be made into Output Parameters by right clicking on them and selecting Use as Workbench Output Parameter. If the results are transient, a transient chart of these expressions can be created to see the change over time.
