# Get Simulation Spatial Profile

`GET /simulations/{simulation_id}/spatial-profile`

Evaluate a one-dimensional spatial field from stored solution chunks.

## Path parameters

- `simulation_id` string, required

## Query parameters

- `variable` string, required
- `max_time_points` integer

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- SpatialProfile — A time-dependent scalar field on a one-dimensional PyBaMM mesh.
  - `variable` string, required — Evaluated PyBaMM variable name.
  - `coordinate_name` string, required — Spatial coordinate used for the profile.
  - `coordinates` number[], required — One-dimensional mesh coordinates in metres.
  - `times` number[], required — Stored simulation times in seconds.
  - `values` array[], required — Field values indexed as values[time][position].
    - number[]
  - `domains` string[] — Ordered PyBaMM domains along the coordinate.
  - `domain_boundaries` number[] — Internal boundaries between adjacent domains in metres.
