      The monitor point values reported in the Solver Manager are calculated using the nearest vertex to the monitor point coordinates. In CFX-Post, the probe function uses a tri-linear interpolation to determine the value at a point based on the monitor point coordinates. The values returned in CFD-Post will therefore be more accurate than the solver monitor plot. Note that the finer the grid, the smaller the difference between the two results.
