It is a bit similar to the Heat Method

I didn’t compare with Tweener but it seems similar except it is in 3d.

In order to explain that, here a little script. A mesh is created here with 2 holes. The components in the middles allows to put some weights on each vertex of the mesh. 0 is on the border of the mesh and 1 everywhere else.

The component Smooth Weights on Mesh smooth these values but keep them constant on naked edges. The results depends on the number of iterations.

Using theses weights on each vertex it is possible to make some Mesh Iso Splitting (500 itterations)

it is also possible to change these values to vectors using Vector On Mesh Vertices from Scalar Weights

Then these vectors could be used to make field lines with Flow on Mesh along Vectors

And if you want less cluterd graph use Clean Overlapping Curves, choose wisely D as it could be very very long !!!

Funny to see the result with values fixed at boundary

And not fixed

Weight smoothing, sort of heat propagation, values are remapped here.

Here I compare Tweener from @MathiasFuchs_McN to Nautilus
Tweener is more simple to use than Nautilus, but the results are very very similar.

Hello
I am not sure of which component you speak. I generally keep the component and hide them. you can find them using in the search panel using #
They will appear with old on the icon

Which version have you ? Use
