Hi

I'm simulating a case in Fluent 17.1 where I need Area weighted average temperature in degree celsius. By default the Area weighted average temperature is giving the value in kelvin, I need it in degree celsius.

I need too many values so converting every time is tideous. Can anyone help?

PS: please note that I've already changed the units to degree Celsius but the area weighted average temperature value is still in kelvin.

Thanks,
Vin.

Make a custom field function and define it to be (temperature-273.15) and then take the area weighted average of this custom field function.
