  Hello, i'm analyzing the Fluid-Structure interaction using Ansys Ensight
  as described in below figure the turbulent flow is applied to the object and object is vibrating due to the applied wind.
  What i wanna figure out is the average wind speed on the surface of the object which is marked by the red dot line in below figure
  can i get an examples or the way to measure average wind velocity?

  To measure the average velocity over a surface in Ansys EnSight, you can utilize the calculator functions available within the software. Specifically, you can calculate the average velocity by using the appropriate functions to evaluate the velocity field over the desired surface. This involves selecting the surface part and using the calculator to compute the average of the velocity values across that surface.
