How to monitor surface temperature during transient simulation?

Oula · October 3, 2018, 11:26

Hello everyone,

How can I monitor a surface temperature during a transient simulation?. In my simulation I'm using a UDF to adjust wall transient boundary condition during the simulation. Is there any way to monitor the temperature at this wall before the simulation finishes? I want to do this step to see if my UDF is working good

Your help is much appreciated

The wall is a surface, which implies many many points. How do you plan on monitoring multiple values? You need to be precise.

Let's say you want to monitor the min/max/mean temperature of the surface. You can create a surface monitor and do exactly that.

Dear LuckyTran

How can I create the surface monitoring of the mean temperature in ANSYS 18.2? your help is much appreciated

looks simple, isnt it?
There are a lot of basic tutorials regarding ansys fluent

best regards

Many thanks dear AlexanderZ. Yes indeed it is simple, sometimes when someone too stressed about a problem can't think properly

Thanks again
