Calculations in CFD-post

Knowledge · March 2, 2021, 09:00

Hey

I have simulated a model in transiet-mode, and made a graph showing the average, min and max times of the simulation for each time-step. The time is on the x-axis and temperature on the y-axis inside CFD-post. I want to analyze the time-step where both average, min and max times reach the same temperature (where the three functions meet), is it possible to calculate in one line in post-CFD and how?

Very doubtful, just export the data and do that yourself. Why try to do that in CFD post?

Because I have a lot of data and I just wanted to figure out if it was possible to avoid exporting the data.

CFD-Post is not the software of choice for what you are trying to do, as Erik says. You can probably get it to do it somehow, but if you export the data to matlab, python, or even excel you can do it much more easily.
