I am facing a weird problem and unable to understand it. When I try to calculate the Minimum face angle of domain using Function calculator in CFD post GUI, it returns the value.

minVal(Minimum Face Angle)@sp
27.9536 [degree]

where domain is "sp"

The same, when I am trying to extract through a macro, I defined it as:

! $spminangle = minVal("Minimum Face Angle", "sp");

The output is : 0.488, what could be the problem?

Rest of the values extraction works well, like areaAve("Pressure","inflow");

For some reason the macro outputs the degree in [radians] instead of [°].
0.488*180/pi = 27.96°

Thank you very much Mr.Lance for your quick reply and keen observation.

Frankly speaking I banged my head three times to my computer, because the answer was too obvious. I think I need to increase my frequency of coffee.
