You have to input the points where you want to measure

Hi, I have a similar issue.
I would like to know the evolution of water elevation in particular X distance (0.17 m). However, when I set the list of points to [0.17, 0.0005, 0], the output of elevation in the Z direction in the CSV file is constant at 0.07. How do I set the correct list of points if I want to know the water elevation changed over time in particular X distance? Thank you very much for your information.

Use the grid of points instead; otherwise you are measuring on a single point

Alright, thank you for your response. A brief confirmation, is there any description about how to set the value in MeasureTool Points? I did not find the explanation about how to set the MeasureTool Points, as I only found a direct tutorial from YouTube of DualSPHysics using that feature for the DamBreak case. Thank you very much.

You have to set the following data:

• Begin [X,Y,Z]: the starting point of the list
• Step [X,Y,Z]: the increment in each direction for the next point in the list
• Count [X,Y,Z]: number of points in the desired direction
• Final [X,Y,Z]: the latest point position in the list (auto generated)
