<html><body><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><div>Dear Gmsh,<br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>I am trying to post-process the plate element solution. The plate element that I am using has three dofs per node (w , - dw/dx , dw/dy ). But gmsh does not support writing angular displacement of a node in .POS file. To effectively visualize the plate, I wanted to interpolate the w (displacement) on midside nodes (3,4,5 for Triangle). But when I tried a sample .pos file having w_displacement only on midside nodes, it doesn't seem to be working.it shows zero displacement all over the element. I pasted the .pos file below. Please advise me to rectify this problem. <br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><span lang="FR" style='font-family: "lucida console",sans-serif;' data-mce-style="font-family: 'lucida console',sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">$PostFormat </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">1.4 0 8 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">$EndPostFormat </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">$View </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">Triangle_n 1 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0 0 0 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0 0 0 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0 0 0 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0 0 0 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0 0 0 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0 0 0 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0 0 0 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0 0 0 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0 0 0 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0 1 0 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0 0 0 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0 0 0 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0 0 0 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0 0 0 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0 0 0 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0 0 0 0 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">1 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 0.500000 0.500000 0.000000 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 0.500000 0.500000 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt;">$EndView</span> </span></div><div><span lang="FR" style='font-family: "lucida console",sans-serif;' data-mce-style="font-family: 'lucida console',sans-serif;"><br data-mce-bogus="1"></span></div><div><span lang="FR" style='font-family: "lucida console",sans-serif;' data-mce-style="font-family: 'lucida console',sans-serif;"><br data-mce-bogus="1"></span></div><div><span lang="FR" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Any help would be greatly appreciated<br data-mce-bogus="1"></span></div><div><span lang="FR" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br data-mce-bogus="1"></span></div><div><span lang="FR" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">regards<br data-mce-bogus="1"></span></div><div><span lang="FR" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Emayavaramban Elango<br data-mce-bogus="1"></span></div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div></body></html>
