  Hi Guys,
  
  I have a question which refers to a steady state flow simulation in Ansys CFX. Is it possible to average contour or any other visualisation option over a certain number of iterations?
  
  thank you for your help!

  Yes, if you have created a backup file every, say "n" iterations. Then you can create an "iteration" (pseudo-time) averaged variable using a session file in CFD-Post. Read a little bit about session files and you'll be able to create a session script for doing this averaging easily. Let us know if you need help creating the session file.

  Hi raul,
  I am running a simulation in Ansys fluent and I need to get an iteration averaged velocity contours. Could you please guide me through the steps for saving a backup file for every iteration and then creating the session file for obtaining the iteration averaged contours?
  Thanks in advance,
  Yasser
