Hi! Everyone, I have two problems and maybe some of you can give me some advice.

1. Can we extract the flux density at element barycenter coordinates in Flux?

2. I am trying to extract B by using panel "Export spatial quantity and formula".

    There are two options for ''values location''. In my case, I want exctract the B at element barycenter coordinates,

    so I select ''At nodes on elements'', as you can see in the 1st figure below.

    but I got an error shown in the 2nd figure beow.

                                     image

   So, the 2nd question is that: I don't exactly know the meaning of ''At nodes on elements''. Is it another phrase

   same with element barycenter coordinates?

    Hi,

    • To extract the flux density at the barycenter of element you can use the macro: This macro is available in PostPro2D repertory.
    • Use the context “Export spatial quantity with values location type: at nodes elements” it is not the good way to extract the B at the barycenter of element.

     

    Hope this will help.

    Best regards.
