monitor the internal temperature field for a 3D heat transfer model ?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

A 3D heat transfer model, cooled from outside to inside. I want to know the position (coordinates) of the point whose temperature is reduced the most slowly (I check the plot while solving box, but I cannot see the internal temperature field), how should I do? Can "probe" do this? Thank you!

Hi

I would say make a section cut on your Data set and identify the max or min of the gradient, then with the dual name calling of the max operator you might get out the coordinates. (you can get it directly in the 3D domain, but its not "visible" for a plot if you do not cut your domain somehow) you can also use the coordinates identification of the value found in the domain to identify the right plane where to cut

Good luck
