weighted massflow/velocity in Abaqus/CFD

weighted massflow/velocity in Abaqus/CFD

(OP)
Hey all,

I'm new to Abaqus, so please forgive if this is a rediculous question, but I could not find any information about it at all.

I've conducted an incompressible CFD-Analysis in the new CFD-module of Abaqus 6.10 and now I need to obtain the mass-averaged massflow on the outlet. Since the fluid is incompressible, the area-averaged velocity in x-direction is sufficient.

I'am working with CAE and there seems to be no possibility to do that (which is quite strange...). So I tried using python, but I'm stuck here too.

Can anyone tell me, how to obtain in a python-script
- the velocity V1 through an element face
- the area of an element face?

Thank you so much...
