Hi,
Simple question: my model is 3D, and I defined 5 points inside the results-Data Sets sections in order to evaluate them.
But how can I be sure that the points that I defined are located inside my geometry?
with visualization is not possible to understand for me.
Attached my model
Any answers will be appreciated, and many thanks in advance.

You can't. The points outside the geometry are ignored. It's even possible for points to located inside the geometry for some times and outside the geometry for some other times (e.g., for moving mesh or parametric sweep).

Hi Gunnar
Well then how to ?
because I think that is a useful "feature" to be able to define a point and know where it really is in the solution domain.
Perhaps the answer is if one add in some internal Boundaries, Edges hence "true" internal "Points" that are somewhat attached to the Domain then one might be able to state that the Point is "following" the overall deformation of the domain.
Furthermore, in Solid Physics, Spatial Frame active, if the Cut Point is defined in the Material frame, what I hope it is by default, then the result should be output correctly, or not ?
And then a linked question that is puzzling me for some time, since "Post-processing - Plot - Arrow Points" has disappeared from the COMSOL node list:
Once I have defined a "Point" of post-processing metrology, and calculated my variables there, then "How to illustrate an Vector Arrow on my 2D/3D plots of my vector or tensor variables ?"
Thanks for the precisions

Hello Sepideh,
Perhaps this is all you are looking for. At the top of the Settings window for a 3D Cut Point, you will find a Plot button; click it and the location of the 3D cut point will be shown by a red dot in the graphics window - if the point in question is indeed located within the meshed geometry.
Best,
Jeff
