Use a Parameterized Surface () data set, selected from the More Data Sets submenu, to visualize data on a general parameterized surface. Visualize the parameterized surface as a surface plot in its original dimension and as any plot type in 2D.

Enter a Name and a range of the parameter in the Minimum and Maximum fields for both the First parameter and Second parameter fields.

Enter functions for coordinates of the two parameters in the x, y, and z fields.

If you want to evaluate an expression defined globally where there is also no domain mesh, select the Only evaluate globally defined expressions check box. It is then possible to, for example, postprocess a BEM model without a domain mesh inside the domain. The expressions that you can evaluate with this setting can be functions of the space variables and the domain variable dom.

Enter the number of subdivisions of the parameter ranges. The default Resolution is 200, and the valid range is between 2 and 1,000,000 subdivisions. A high resolution might require significant computational resources.
