I am doing a transient simulation and am storing the transient statistics at the interval of 0.01 s. I have observed that as no. of trn results gets bigger, the response of CFX solver in Workbench is sluggish and at times even takes 15 minutes to start the solver run . Hence I prefer to start new simulation, with def file and initialization from earlier simulation.

As a result I have say 4 simulations from 0-30 s, 30-60 s, 60-90 s, 90-120 s. Now, when I open the 4th simulation in CFD post, it loads all the trn files (i.e 91 -120 s) but doesn't load the earlier ones.

Now, I want to see the time average result of a variable, say variable.Trnavg in CFD post for last 60 seconds. Is there a way to do it?

I have checked loading earlier time steps using time step selecter, but that doesn't influence the variable.Trnavg, meaning only the timesteps run for that simulation can influence the Trnavg.
