Location specification
 

Hi all.

In monitor points and expressions, a "functionName(VariableName)@<Location>" syntax is often used, but <Location> parameter is underdocumented.

I know I can use any body or surface or interface name from the tree list in CFX-Pre (F34.67 and the like). But how do I specify a new custom location, such as a line by 2 points? I need it to monitor average velocity at a custom location.

Thank you.

In output control just set up a new monitor point in Cartesian coordinates (or whichever coordinate system you like) :)

Thank you RicochetJ, but I would like to monitor on a line not on a point. This is why I am learning to use expressions.

You cannot define a line in CFX-Pre; therefore, nothing can be monitored on such locator.

Line locators are available in CFD-Post, but not CFX-Pre, nor CFX-Solver.
