**process average_around

Description

This post processor calculates an average around each integration point in an element set and assigns this average value to each integration point.

Syntax

**process average_around \(~\,\) *length value \(~\,\) *list_var name1 … nameN

value is a real value to indicating the distance to take into account around each integration point to make the average. name1, … nameN are the scalar variable names to average. The output variable names are generated by adding the prefix aa_ to each input variable name.

Warning

Symmetries are not taken into account. The method is not valid for axisymmetric geometries.

Example

% this will provide aa_epcum
**process average_around
  *list_var epcum
  *length 1.5
