Hello! I currently have a curved surface with a heat transfer distribution. I would like to view an area averaged heat transfer for slices of this surface. Essentially if this was a rectangle I would want to subdivide it into smaller rectangles and calculate the area average heat transfer within those smaller rectangles.

Of course I could break up the surface in Design Modeler and then individually calculate the area weighted average on each new surface but is there a better way to accomplish this within fluent?

The end goal is to have a graph of an area weighted average heat transfer ever x mm along the surface


thanks in advance for any insights into this!
