Hi all Foamers,

I've search about how to calculate fields in different parts of my case and I've a doubt about what is better (or maybe the unique way) for calculating the flow across a section of my study case.

The case is a tank with pipe (to simplify) where the fluid flows. Which of these two post-processing at run-time you recommend to my case?
1) fieldValue
2) probes

Maybe there are other options, if any better, please tell me.

Thanks in advance,

Eric
