How do I figure out the volume flow rate through an opening? I try insert a surface for the opening, but can't use that surface for a surface goal or for surface parameter. Thanks. -Patrick

If the location of interest for extracting the VFR is on the lid's internal surface, then pick that face. Otherwise, you can define a thin solid body on flow path (make sure to exclude it from analysis). Thereafter, you can use its faces for defining goal/extracting results etc.
As a side note: surfaces are not valid entities in flow simulation.
Hi Patrick,
Have you 'turned off' the body / lid in Component Control ?
You should then be able to apply a surface goal.
