Average result

[Robert000]

Hi,

I´m solving a 3D flow problem in Flotran with elements Fluid142.
My problem is getting average result of PCOE and PRES on surface A10.
How can I do this?

Thanks a lot,

Robert

Robert, if you're familiar with APDL this is easily done. These values are easily retrieved using the ETABLE function. You can then compose a *do loop to construct an array of these values for different elements and nodes on the surface of interest. Retrieve values using the *get function. You can then operate on the arrays using *vscfun or another command to calculated the values you are interested in.

Good luck,
-Brian

Hi Brian,

it isn´t as easy as I thought. With postprocessing I have some problems. Could we try an example? How is it possible to determine average result of PCOE on area A10?

Thanks a lot,

Robert
