total heat

cfd new · May 3, 2019, 08:23

i am giving heat variation with respect to axis of the domain, inside the domain through udf. And now i want to check that software is taking correct profile and total heat inside the domain. I am giving this heat using DEFINE_SOURCE macro.

Where can i see the total heat dumped in the domain?
at the same time how can i plot the variation of heat with respect to axis (as given by udf) ?

Thanks in advance.

you may use user-defined variables (UDMIs) to see your source
good examples you may find in ansys fluent customization manual

best regards
