Plotting results along the curve

Hi,
I´m starting with Comsol and I need help. I want to plot results (stress) along the curve (but not line) so, that I have a 2D Graph - stress dependent on the curve. Thank for the help

Is the curve part of your geometry, or an arbitrary curve?
If an arbitrary curve, you can define your curve using a Parametric Curve 2D/3D dataset, then use that dataset as a source for the plot. You can specify the resolution of points along this curve when you create the curve.
If part of your geometry, use the line graph and select the edge in your geometry, (this is unlikely to produce smooth results).
Mesh density and Mesh order (linear/quad etc...) will dictate the smoothness of the plot. You may want to consider a mesh control domain (virtual geometry operation) to enhance the mesh in your region of interest.
