Question Monitoring points from CAD to Fluent

Hi!

I would like to monitor my flow on specific points.
Is It possible to make monitoring points in CAD and then use them in Fluent and if so, how can it be done?

Use of global coordinate system as a reference for a point creation in Fluent is too difficult. Use of mouse selection and coordinate modification is too imprecise. Ialso tried to make new coordinate systems in Ansys meshing but they did not show up in Fluent so I guess that is not an option.

I am using catia v6 and I don't have a lot experience about the CAD.

Fluent reads in only mesh file and points are not part of it. So, you can create points only in Fluent. If you know the coordinates, then it is fairly easy to create any point. Could not understand what is meant by

since if the coordinates are know, then it is all about entering those coordinates in written form. You can take those coordinates from CAD tool.

Thank you! I will use CAD to get the coordinates for the points. I feel so stupid now
