Hello! Is there a way to calculate or plot average radial displacement vs height of a cylindrical mesh?

    Hello @Ash ,

     

    you should be able to do it by:

    - plotting your diplacement in a cylindrical system

    - creating a measure of type nodal contour, with multiple selection of notes

    - plotting a single curve from the measure, with displacement as ordinate and X, Y or Z coordinate as abscissa

     

    Does it help?

     

    Best Regards,

    Michael

    Hello! This was not what I was looking for. I want circumferential average for each height.

    For Eg:

    Height/Angle 0 5 10 15 .......360
    1 0.2 0.3 0.8 0.6 .......
    2 0.1 0.3 0.5 0.6 .....
    3 0 0.3 0.2 0.6 ......
    4 -0.1 0.3 -0.1 0.6 ......
    5 -0.2 0.3 -0.4 0.6 ......
    7 -0.3 0.3 -0.7 0.6 ......
               
    Average Displacement a Height 1 = 0.2+0.3+0.8+0.6+….../Number of Angles

     

    I want a plot of Average Displacement vs Height.
