Hello everyone,ni am currently trying to plot the velocity on my 2 outlets over time. However i couldnt find a single guide video on it and was unable to find it myself so far.nCan anyone give me a hint on how to achieve this?.Thank you all in advance!n

1/You define a surface integral for the velocity on your outlet as report definition and activate report plot/filen2/Runn3/You read that plot file into Fluent to draw it as XY plot

So i have to do this in the actual Fluid part not in the CFD?n

[DrAmine]

You do it in Fluent. If you have already transient data exported you can do it in CFD-Post or EnSight.n

I am really sorry but i still struggle with it. I have the option to write the surface area but the .srp file doesnt really help me. So how do i get to plot the Average velocity of the surface over time? Since i can not import the .srp files into the XY plot.nn

I thought of another possible way. If i can somehow export the average velocity of the outlets ever timestep and then compute in excel for example. Is there a way to do it? I am currently trying to do it with th is menu:nnnnHowever it seems as if it isnt he average of the outlet but legit the velocity of 100+ dots in the outletnn

Have a look in the tutorials that come with the Help. The process is to create a report, then plot (and add to file) that report as you run the calculation. You'll then have a text file with time step number, time and whatever you choose to report.
