Extracting a slice from 3D plane and time averaging for a specific period

[Muthu-V]

I want to extract a 2D slice from a 3D slice computed FDS simulation data and time average it. I tried to visually do it inside smoke view, for some reasons it hangs a lot and unable to get the data quickly. Is it possible with some utilities or smokeview scripts that can be used for this purpose.
Thanks

This tool is a complicated but more customizable way: https://firedynamics.github.io/LectureFireSimulation/content/tools/03_analysis/02_fdsreader.html

Thank you for sharing. Managed to extract the results from fds2ascii and time averaged it for full 3D slice. Multiple mesh results were merged inside paraview using Grouping datasets and mergeblock. Will test Python fdsreader later for complex cases.

As another Python option, the pyfdstools package has an example to do just this:
