Define Surface Monitors
Surface monitors for all defined boundaries are created automatically. However, additional surface monitors can be created using the Surfaces tool.
Surface Output
The options in the Surfaces tool specify the output of the average of quantities integrated through the surface. The averaged quantities are output to the disk. By default, AcuSolve writes out this output at the last time step of the simulation.
Output frequencies
- Integrated
- Specifies time frequency at which to output integrated surface quantities. If zero this option is ignored.
- Statistics
- Specifies time frequency at which to output statistics of surface nodal quantities. If zero this option is ignored.
- Nodal
- Specifies time frequency at which to output surface quantities at the nodes of the surface. If zero this option is ignored.
Output time intervals
- Integrated
- Specifies time step frequency at which to output integrated surface quantities. If zero this option is ignored.
- Statistics
- Specifies time frequency at which to output statistics of surface nodal quantities. If zero this option is ignored.
- Nodal
- Specifies time step frequency at which to output surface quantities at the nodes of the surface. If zero this option is ignored.
- Number of saved states
- Specifies the number of solution steps to retain on disk. If zero all solution time steps are retained.
