Average Temperatures of area or volume

Dear colleagues,

I would like calculate the average temperature of some 2D or 3D 2nd order elements . In preprocessor Patran I had a build-in API to get all the area or volume wheights of selected nodes. You simply had to sum up all the 'wheights*Temp'-values. In HyperMesh I do not. Has anybody an idea how to deal with this problem? Average results of a selected sets of elements should not be a very special demand. Or is there something bulit-in in HyperView?

 

Regards,

 

Claus

    You can try below script from script exchange in Hyperview.

    Sorry, but this script simply adds all node values and devides by numver of nodes.

    This makes only sense in a mesh with all elements having exactlx the same size.

    If you have one big element (node temps 600K), and 3 very small (700K), result must be slightly higher than 600, not near 700.

     

    I need the weight factors  for every node in 2nd order elements (2D or 3D)!

    Any ideas?
