in thread Contour mapping?

Thanks for that. Actually, as I'm only looking to discover the angle at which the lines would cross the triangles -- rather than actually plotting the lines which the simulation software already does -- AM's limited observations were all I required to code that part of the problem. It's still good to know some background though.

A harder part of the task was hacking the software's input and results files; but they are plain text files with a fairly obvious if not well documented structure.

The hardest part of the entire problem was waiting for the 60+ hours between setting the problem running and getting the results. Especially when as soon as I viewed them, it was blatantly obvious I had made a trivial mistake in the specification of one of the boundary conditions and would need to wait another 60+ hours for the correction :(
