Hey, Firstly let me describe my goal. I have a model with beam elements (4-node line elements) that have displacement and stress views. The stress views are scalars, not tensors.
I would like to view these stress views on the displaced model. I thought I could use 'General Transformation Expressions' on the stress view (using my displacement view as the data source), but this produces very strange results when I also tick 'Adapt Visualization Grid' (I want to see the curved shape of the element). These two options do not work together. So I had another idea where I would use the 'wrap' filter directly on the stress view, using the displacement view as the source. This doesn't look as strange with 'Adapt Visualization Grid' enabled, but it still is clearly incorrect. I think what the 'wrap' filter is doing is that it is only transforming the first 2 nodes of the four-node element, and not the two inner nodes. This mean the interpolation is done incorrectly. Is this a known bug, and are there any other alternatives I could try?
