How to get the averaged velocity vector plot
 
Hi, everyone, i created some parallel plates in CFX-Post, and got the velocity vector on each plate, there are some differences among these vectors, so i want get one averaged vector plot of these plates.How to do it?

Thanks for everybody's kind help.

1. Check the Help of CFX I'm sure there is an easy way to do that.
2. The hard way:
- save the data for each plane in a separate text file
- read these files with a program (C++, Matlab ...) and calculate the average of each vector component
- save the data in a separate file using the same format as the format used by CFX in your data from the planes
- read back the new file in CFX and plot the average vector

3. Maybe you should also write to CFX technical support.
