Plot Temperature of a specific point or surface in 3D modeling

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

My simulation is very simple. Heat source in water chamber which is on top of body structure. And power is provided into it and the temperature distribution is monitored. Power is delivered as a pulse.

I would like to make a graph of temperature in a specific location as a function of time.

How I specify the location (Edge or Surface or Point) and How I generate the temperature graph as a function of time?

Many Thanks in Advance.

Hi Kyusuk:

First, under "data sets", create a "cut point".
Second, create a "1D plot group".
Third, under it create a "point graph":y-axis is "T", x-axis is "time".

Thanks a lot. Now I get it.

Is there any way of averaging the temperature in a surface and plot the average temperature as a function of time?

Thanks.

Use "derived values" - "surface average", choose the domain, then compute. On the right lower side, click "plot".
