Monitoring average values on selected faces

Dear support and users,
I would like to know if it is possible to monitor average physical values on selected faces during calculation.
I know one can use probes to monitor physical values on selected points, but is that possible with faces?
Thank you,
Regards,
Stéphane

Hi Stéphane,
monitoring point are only available in the center of the cells. More complicated behavior could be implemented in the user source ushist.f90 (§ 6.8 of the user guide)
Can I ask you why are you interested by values on (internal or boundary ?) faces ?

Hi Alexandre,
Thank you for your answer.
I am interested by values on faces (both internal and boundary), instead of points, because it seems more "accurate" to monitor the evolution of the convergence.

Hi,
I took a look at the ushist.f90 subroutine, but I really don't know how can I set faces instead of points. Can somebody help me?
Thanks,
Regards,
Stéphane

Hi,
I found another way to do that, thank you anyway.
