Hello Does anyone know, if there is a possibility to set a data point in a CFD simulation? I would like to know the velocity in different points for my post-processing. Thank you in advance for your help. ---

I think this is what your looking for: > [@Result Control Item: Probes](https://www.simscale.com/forum/t/result-control-item-probes/68609): > > Relying solely on Residual plots for monitoring convergence of steady-state simulations can be misleading Area-averages sometimes miss out on regions of domain with interesting flow phenomena that take some time to converge Having a probe result-control item would help in monitoring variables at desired locations and monitor convergence in a more reliable way So no not yet but vote to prioritise is 🙂 Kind regards, Darren ---

Yes, thanks for sharing it with me 🙂
