Time average and horizontal average

Hello,
I have built a 3D time-dependent model with laminar flow and heat transfer. I have got some results like temperature and velocity fields over the fluid domain.
I would like to plot:
1/ the time-averaged temperature field
2/ the vertical temperature profile (i.e. T(z)=int(T(x,y,z),x,y))
I can't find the way to do that in the results node. How could I do?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
the answer comes late, but I am just now looking for an answer to a similar problem. The solution I found, uses a ODE module integrating the variable over the time.

It would be nice, if a time integration could be done in the result node without changing the model and resolving it.

Best regards,
Stefan

Stefan, That feature is implemented in version 4.2a. See www.comsol.com/products/4.2a/ under "Data Operations on Results".

Hi Jean-Francois,
thank you for the quit response! I had not yet upgraded to 4.2a, so I will do it now!
Kind regards,
Stefan
