How to create output parameter of pressure in Parameterization

  Hello all,
  
  I hope everyone is doing good in this pandemic situation.
  
  I am working on the sample model. It is as simple as a cylinder pipe. I want to calculate the pressure drop. But, with multiple velocities with a single diameter of the pipe. So, I want to use Parametric analysis for ease of work. Unfortunately, I am unable to get the Output parameter.
  
  Could you please guide me or help me with the instructions (like which report definition should I use) to get the pressure as an output parameter or can I do it in different way?
  
  Thank you in advance,
  Raj

  Hello,
  
  To create an output parameter, go to Reports --> Definitions --> New --> Surface Report --> Area Weighted Average. Select pressure under field variable and select the surface. Bottom left of the window, you will find "create Output Parameter", check that box.

  Hello Rahul,
  
  I also have Pressure as a variable for Sum, Facet (Maximum, minimum, Average), Custom Vector Flux, and so on. Is the "Area Weighted Average" surface definition correct for choosing a Pressure drop in the model between Inlet and Outlet?
  
  Thank you,

  Hi Raj,
  
  For pressure drop, area weighted average is right.
