Hey guys
I got some problems analysing my FlowSimulation results.
I got a metal box. This box is in a fluid region (air). In the box i got some dummy heat sources. Cause i need to know how much heat is beeing emitted to the external fluid, its an external analysis. Its easy to get these results with surface parameters.
But i also need to know the average themperature of the air inside the box. So i got some Point Goals in the box measuring the temperature of the fluid.
But what i need to know is the real averaged temperature of the whole fluid volume in the box. The only way i know is to set many point goals and getting the average out of them in excel. But thats not realy accurate.
Though i can get the temperature of any point manually i'm just asking myself if there is a way to get the averaged temperature of the whole fluid volume?
Would be great if u could help.
Thanks
Andi
Andi -
you need to create a dummy volume inside the box and disable it in Component Control so it does not see it as a solid
then after simulation insert Volume Parameters for that box and it should calculate the average temperature of that volume
you will need to make sure that the volume has voids where your heat sources are or it will average those components in also
