Hello,

Is it possible to create a moving average on a field variable, obtained at a face/boundary?

I want to be able to set the inlet velocity, based on the static pressure. The static pressure is then used to determine a volumetric flow, by evaluating a specific fan curve.

Currently, I'm evaluating the fan curve for 1 value, in each iteration, and this causes the model to diverge, simply because it's way too aggressive - the static pressure spikes every time the model changes the inlet velocity.
I've tried to create a "Report Definitions" and set it to average over 5 iterations but this didn't work.
Next, I've tried to adjust the interval for when the fan curve should be evaluated - so the model would evaluate the fan curve every 20th iteration, in order to obtain a steady value for the static pressure - this didn't work either.

I'm wondering if this can be done with a UDF?

Thank you!
