Abstract A general non‐linear interpolation procedure for contouring on any isoparametric surface was presented in a previous article. The method used standard isoparametric interpolation functions and a predictor method for tracing element contour lines. The method presented here extends the previous work by using a predictor‐corrector method to trace element contour lines, thereby making the contouring algorithm more accurate.
