Hi Robert,

Did you mean "linear_elastic_probes.html" instead of "linear_elastic_tractions.html" example? I found the "linear_elastic_probes.html" very useful example for my purposes to probe a solution in the given (x, y, z) points. Also the documentation "src/sfepy/fem/probes.html" gives all necessary information to help me implement what I want to do. Thank you!

But, despite this, could you tell me more about low-level way to evaluate a variable in the given (x, y, z) point?

Sincerely,
Alexander

Yes, it is possible. Either, you could use a probe as described in the
Primer [1] - the available probes are described in [2]. Or, you could
directly evaluate a variable in given points - this is a bit low-level
operation, but I could provide you instructions, if the probes are not
enough for you.
