Boundary area, domain volume and average flux through a boundary

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

1) How to calculate a area of a boundary or volume of a domain in 3D Multiphysics model ?

2) How to calculate an average value for a flux (for example heat power) which through a boundary in 3D
Multiphysics model ?

Hi

the length, area respective volume of a 1D, 2D respective 3D Entioty can be obtained by the integration of the operand "1"

And the average is now directly calculated by the "average" operatur your Define on an enetity (domain Boundary ...)

To get the coordinate of a point, you set an integration operant on that point (only 1 point) then integrate intop1(x), intop(y) ... It's a bit heavy, but perfectly logic, and itegration being a sum over elements or "continuous" sections of an entity

Good luck
