Hi

I would like to run both steady and transient state analysis where I would like to measure the temperature right at the center of the  solid geometry.

My first way to do that was the select the solid geometry and then insert a temperature probe.

Second was to define a coordinate system by selecting the geometry. It goes right at the centre of solid. Then I inserted a temperature probe by selecting that coordinate system.

Can someone kindly correct me if my second method was the right way. I am running ANSYS workbench 16.

Workbench is the project management tool, which solver are you using? I'd also suggest updating to 2019R3.

The second method using a Coordinate System is the right way to get the temperature at a point in a solid body.  Probing the whole solid just provides the minimum and maximum values anywhere in the solid.
