Hello, I'm new to this forum, so sorry if this post doesn't quite meet with the standard ones here.

Nevertheless, I'm analysing a thin structure in ANSYS CFX and comparing it to a real wind tunnel result, the problem is that I need to get the difference between the pressures on the upper and bottom faces. I have already created different Named Selections for both faces, but I can't find the right CEL expression to plot the result I need.

I was thinking about an expression being the pressure at a surface at a coordenate (x1,y1, z1(Coordenate of the surface on that point)), z being the vertical axys for this analysis, minus the pressure at the other surface at the same (x1,y1, z2(Coordenade of the other surface)) but I couldn't quite find how to write it in the Expression tab. Also, the coordenate on the Z axys varies along the faces.

I also tried exporting it to Static Structural but I can't plot the contour for resulting applied pressure there, it only shows the vectors I've imported for each case (I applied both pressures on the upper face of the elements). Ploting on Ansys APDL also was shown unsuccesfull, so I think the answer is in CFD-Post.

To make it easy to visualize, I'm attaching the plotted pressure contours on both upper and bottom faces, as well as the named selections used. The ones I'm interested are "RooftopTop" and "RooftopBottom".

Named Selections:

Pressure contour at "RooftopBottom":

Pressure contour at "RooftopTop":

Thanks in advance,
