thixo is on a distinguished road
Hi,

I am trying to calculate an Integral over the surface of a casting process using FlowSight.
I only want to calculate the free surface, not the one touching the wall. Is there a good way of doing that?

Until now I have calculated a variable over pressure (=1 if pressure low enough,. else =0) and multiplied that by the variable of interest. However, this does not always lead to stable results.

Additional question: When surface integrals are plotted vs time, the values are not the ones that are shown in the induvidual time frames. Is it possible to recieve correct plots for surfaces?
Thank you
