Default average value in any plane

Hello everyone,

I have a question about cfx5-post.

This question is almost the same like Roy Chen had in 2002: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forum/cfx_....cgi/read/3538

As he I also want to know an average value across a plane. But I want to move this plane and plott all the average values along the movementline.

In my case I need the distribution of the mass averaged temperature.

Does anyone know who to achieve this without having a lot of planes and also as many expressions. There needs to be an easier way than having thousand planes. Probably with power syntax?

Thanks for your help, Aloise

Record a session file that does this for one plane, then go and edit the session file so that you put a "for" loop around the plane generation and temperature calculation. There an example in the CFX-Post doc under Power Syntax that is fairly similar. Miike

Thanks Mike!!

It toke me a while to figure out how to get this working. For others facing the same problem here is me result:

VIEWPORT MANAGER: Viewport List = Viewport Order = 1, 2, 3, 4 Maximized Viewport = -1 END

VIEWPORT MANAGER: Viewport List = Viewport Order = 1, 2, 3, 4 Maximized Viewport = -1 END

Hello,

now that i know how to get these average values across a plane i would like to get them plotted in a chart. The file I get can`t be reread from cfx as file-import to create a chart-line.

Can anybody tell me what I need to consider?

Or is there even an easier way to get these average values plotted in a chart?

Thanks for your help, aloise
