Hi,

I have to measure a surface on the 3D-view to put values for a "Fluid-flux BC".
Related to my last topic, i have values for fluid flux BC in [b]m3/s[/b] and the software accept only [b]m/s[/b] data !!!

Regards,

Terry

What I usually do is using a GIS to estimate the surface, and then I can calculate the appropriate flux (F=Q/S). With budget you can control that you are ending with the correct flow rate. If necessary you can adjust.

I have not seen yet a measurement tool for either area or lenght in V6. That would be very nice to have (at least on 2d views).

Cheers !

Thank you all !!
I will approximate the surface with a GIS tool... :)
