Now let's us look at the pressure variation at the centerline. First, we will create a line call centerline.

Insert > Location > Line

Name it "Centerline" and click OK. On the lower left panel, you will see Details of Centerline. Enter the following coordinates.

Point 1 (0,0,0)

Point 2 (6.096,0,0)

Enter 50 for Samples. (This will be the number of sample points used when plotting data)

Click Apply. Image Added
You will see centerline created under User Locations and Plots.
Next, we will create a chart using this Location data. 
Insert > Chart 
Enter "Axial Pressure" as Name. You will see Details of Axial Pressure appear on the lower left panel. Under General, give the chart Title as "Pressure Variation along Pipe Axis".
