When using the "calculated value" feature in Discovery AIM, is it possible to grab information from just part of the plane and not the whole plane itself?

 

For example, I have a room where im modeling airflow. Could I create a plane through the middle of the room and find out the average velocity in each half of the plane?

 

I understand you can do a contour plot. But the issue is that a contour plot is a continuous field of values which makes it hard to use for design purposes. If I could say, have an average value for each half of the room, then I could use those hard numbers in a calculation.

 

I attached a screen shot of a contour plot to show how I would want to break up the data. Each red square I would want to grab an average (AVG.) velocity from for example. Is this possible?

 

Thanks!

Hello seffa ,

It is not possible to grab information from parts of the plane the way you are expecting.

I would suggest you to post it in the Discovery AIM ideas section, since it will be a good addition to the AIM result extraction.
