Orca3D Marine CFD - Visualization and Post-Processing

How can I extract the dynamic flow values (like velocity and pressure) at a specific location?
To get data at a specific location, you first create a Monitoring Point. To create a Monitoring Point click the "Create a Monitoring Point" toolba...
