Comment: Path-Right edge change

...

Let us extract the temperature values along the horizontal line, y=1m. This is done by defining a "path" corresponding to y=1m and sampling the temperature along this path. First, (Right Click) Model > Insert > Construction Geometry as shown below.

Next, (Right Click) Construction Geometry > Insert > Path as shown in the following image.

Then

Name this as Right Edge, then set Number of Sampling Points to 100. Set Start X Coordinate to 0, set Start Y X Coordinate to 1, set End X Y Coordinate to 1, and set End Y Coordinate to 1 2 as shown below. This sets the start and end points for the path.

At this point another temperature output must be created under Solution in the tree. In order to create this temperature output, (Right Click) Solution > Insert > Thermal > Temperature. In the "Details of Temperature 2" table set the Scoping Method to Path as shown below. Then, set Path to Path Right Edge (the default name for the path that was just created is path.) Your "Details of Temperature 2" table should now look like the following image.

(Click) Solve, , and ANSYS will find the temperature on the line y=1 m as a function of the distance along the path, which in this case is the x position. ANSYS will obtain the temperature for 100 points on the line y=1m. The data points are displayed in a table and can be exported to a text file or EXCEL file by right-clicking on the table. The following image shows the graph that ANSYS outputs. The y axis is non-dimensional temperature and the x axis is x position on the line y=1m.
