hi im using CFD - Post to extract velocity data from a vertical line. my geometry is 2D. what i found from the line is that it onyl give me the velocity magnitude. and my problem is i wanted to know the mean velocity so that i can plot a graph of distance y (vertical) vs the mean velocity... please help me (URGENT)

thank you in advance

If your question is urgent then contact ANSYS support. That is what you pay them for. We are volunteers and we will get to your question in our own good time.

Your question is not clear:
Do you mean the average of the velocity magnitude along the line? Then go to the calculator and do lineAve(Velocity)@line.

Do you mean the turbulent velocity mean values (that is, Reynolds Averaged?) That is the velocity components.

Or do you mean something else?
