      Hi , I am doing axissymetric fluid simulation and when I compute area from the report>surface > area> inlet, I get different value than obtained by using formula pi*r^2. Could anyone suggest me what might be the error?

      Hi,

      For axisymmetric problems, all integral quantities are computed for an angle of  2*pi radians.

      For more details, please refer to ansys user’s guide: 38.1. Reporting Conventions (ansys.com)

      If you are not able to access the link, please refer to this forum discussion:Using Help with links (ansys.com)

      Thank you
