Examining a defined volumetric region in domain

amanbearpig · August 30, 2016, 10:54

Hi, I'm trying to figure out the best way to examine a defined volume (a hexahedral region) inside my domain. I want to monitor the sum of variables within this region during the simulation. I find I can mark a hexahedral volume to then create a new cell zone, but the hexahedral volume only asks for the min and max of (x,y,z). If I do not have a traditional cuboid that aligns with the x,y,z axis - say an off axis parallelepiped shape, or even a cuboid that is not aligned with the x,y,z axes, how do I define this volume?

I've looked through the Fluent help, and I'm sure I must be missing a way to do this, but I'm stumped. Thank you!

Bumping this back up - hoping someone has some experience or suggestions with this sort of thing. Thanks!
