Dear all,

I am now working on the neo-Hookean model in parallelization. Is there any way to save the figure plot by `plotMPI`?

Thanks in advance.

You can either use the command-line parameter `-fglut file`, and after the script has run, do on your terminal `ffglut file`, or do directly in your `.edp`

```auto
macro params()cmm = "Global solution", ps = "file.eps"// EOM
plotMPI(Th, u, Pk, def, real, params)

```

For post-processing, I would highly suggest that you use ParaView instead.

I see. Thank you for your help and suggestion.
