An apparatus is provided for implementation of a post-processing system for providing post-processing analysis of a numerical model. The post-processing system may render a numerical model that represents a structural product by a mesh of elements. A dynamically adjustable user-defined string across the mesh is generated and a set of intermediate points that coincide with intersection of the string and edges of at least some of the elements of the mesh is created. An interpolated dataset, for which a plot is subsequently generated, is calculated from the nodal dataset and at least some nodal points. In response to adjustment of the string, a corresponding adjusted string is generated, a new set of intermediate points is created, and an interpolated dataset with which the new set of intermediate points is associated is calculated. |

1. An apparatus for implementation of at least a post-processing system, the apparatus comprising a processor and a memory storing executable instructions that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the apparatus to implement at least:
a diagramming engine configured to render a numerical model of a structural product, the numerical model representing the structural product by a mesh of elements each of which possesses a set of nodal points associated with a nodal dataset in which each nodal point is connected by an edge to each adjacent nodal point, and in which the nodal dataset for each set of nodal points includes values of a property or state of the structural product at respective nodal points of the set of nodal points; a string generator configured to generate a user-defined string across at least a portion of the mesh; an interpolator configured to create a set of intermediate points that coincide with intersection of the string and edges of at least some of the elements of the mesh, and calculate an interpolated dataset with which the set of intermediate points is associated, the interpolated dataset being calculated from the nodal dataset of the set of nodal points possessed by each element of the at least some of the elements; and a graphing engine configured to generate a plot of the interpolated dataset, wherein the string is dynamically adjustable such that in response to adjustment of the string, the string generator is configured to generate a corresponding adjusted string, and the interpolator is configured to create a new set of intermediate points that coincide with intersection of the adjusted string and edges of at least some of the elements of the mesh, and calculate an interpolated dataset with which the new set of intermediate points is associated. |
