1d line plot help

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I have a rectangular solid (x=1m, y=.5m, z=1m, corner at origin) and I did a heat transfer study on it, where the z=1m surface was at 450K and z=0m surface is at 200K. I then plotted a 2d slice at y=.25m, and I now want to plot a 1D line that goes through the center of the solid from z=0m to z=1m. Can anyone tell me where to start with the 1D line?

You can use a cut line data set: Select Results > Data Sets and add a Cut Line 3D data set. Enter the endpoints of the line. Create a 1D plot group that points to the cut line data set and add a Line Graph plot to it.

Thanks! That helped a lot, I'm new to COMSOL so I have no clue what I'm doing.
