: Apply a Velocity (e.g., 5 m/s) or Mass Flow Rate to a lid's inner face.
Exports specific data along a sketched line into a graph, which is highly useful for checking pressure drops across a pipe channel.
In the tutorial window, look for the category.
Goals tell the solver what specific data you want to extract. Setting goals prevents the software from guessing when to stop solving.
If you are using but following the 2012 tutorial PDF , you will hit minor roadblocks. Icons change; menus shift. Here is how to adapt:
Choose analysis. Leave radiation and time-dependency unchecked. Click Next.
Choose Internal (fluid inside a volume) or External (fluid surrounding an object). Check boxes for physical features like Heat conduction in solids or Gravity if applicable.
Click . The solver window will appear, showing mathematical convergence graphs. Monitor your defined Goals .
If you clarify whether you need help with a , I can explain the procedure or theory directly.

The mesh is too coarse or boundary conditions are conflicting.
