Hi,
I'm new to Ansys CFX. I checked the manuals and tutorials, but couldn't find the answer. I'm sorry if this question is very simple. I want to monitor the volume flow rate [m^3/h] at the inlet part when calculating the solver, so I made an expression to calculate the volume flow rate [m^3/h] in Expressions. The formula is this: abs (massFlow () @Inlet) / massFlowAve (Density) @Inlet * 60 [s] / 1 [h] However, when monitoring using this formula, the unit is [m^3/s] on the graph screen of user points. What can I change to monitor [m^3/h]? I look forward to your comments. Kind regards, Motofumi |

You cannot change the time units for a specific monitored quantity.
The ANSYS CFX Solver work in "Solution Units", see CFX-Pre/Edit Options, and select the units for the time dimension you want. Keep in mind that changing time from [s] to [hr] will change all the time-related quantities to be [hr] based instead of [s] based.

If you are only interested in the value, you can use the following expression:
abs (massFlow()@Inlet) / massFlowAve(Density)@Inlet*1[hr]/1[m^3] |
