Hello,nPlease create a monitor in Fluent, please check here: Solution -> Reports -> Definition -> Surface Report -. Area-Weighted-AveragenTo create a plot with time, your simulation needs to be transient. Fluent will Automatically create this report as a function of Flow Time.nKarthikn

Hi,nYou will want to use the 'Report File' option when you create this monitor. This will write the values as a file. You can then re-open the file whenever you open the Fluent case and data. nTo create a plot from the written file, you need to use Plot -> Data Sources -> Point to the correct source (file) and replot.nKarthikn
