Boundary Layer Thickness (I Need Help)

How can i get Boundary Layer Thickness dependent to location on a flat plate by 2D analysis in Ansys Fluent ?

Design modeler has the capability to tweak and specify boundary layer thickness. I'm not clear on exactly what you'd like to do but I'm guessing first you probably will need to split up your plate so you can specify the area you'd like with exact boundary layer thickness and then the other areas can propagate according to that one.

Design modeler can be a pain soo lots of guess and check...

i have a flat plate , its length of L = 5 m , Re = 1000 and my fluid is water at 45 ºC , so i want to calculate boundary layer thicknes at x locations to obtain boundary layer thickness change due to x location.
( x= L/4 , x= L/2 , x = 3L /4 , x= L )

i'm new in fluent, so please help me..
