Hello CalculiX community, I am running a simple thermal simulation. I apply some fixed temperature(1000K) at the bottom and the rest of the body is at (200K). I let the simulation run, and get the results `NT`, which is the temperature at the nodes. ![HT_with_dflux_film](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/calculix/original/1X/e295fd3595d7d148069089768cafd27f8108b68e.png) How can I get the temperature on the surfaces? Just for background for why I need this: I am trying to establish a coupled simulation between an inhouse solver for particles(XDEM) and CalculiX using [preCICE](https://github.com/precice/precice). The particles touch the solid and the temperature is to be transferred from the surface to the particles. Thank you. ---

A simple way to do this without code modification or using the Interpol program is to look at the \*SUBMODEL command. Make a “dummy” fine model as a cloud of points with at least one finite element, and you can map these results.
