Surface integral in 2D axisymmetric model

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I have a 2D axisymmetric model. I like to take the integral over a surface in the 3D reconstructed model based on my 2D model. The surface that I am talking about, is presented by a line in 2D axisymmetric model. Is anyone know how to do this?

Also, is it just same to take the line average over the line in 2D model and multiply it by area after revolution around axis of symmetry?

I suggest that you create a Line Integration node under Derived Values and check the "Compute Surface Integral" check box in the Integration Settings section.

The approach that you describe only gives the correct result in some cases.

Thank you Gunnar.
It was what I wanted.
