This should be easy, but I've been trying for a half hour now and can't seem to do it. I've simulated a flow through a series of tubes which branch from two inlets to multiple exits. Using the surface parameters I can calculate the mass/volumetric flow rate at the inlet and exit faces. I want to get those values at a few intermediate cross-sections along the length of the tube, but I can't figure out what face to select. I've tried creating planes at the positions, but they don't work. I've also tried selecting the tube cross section (I can select the tube face in a few places where tubes butt up against each other) but that also doesn't work.
Help! I need this info for a report due this afternoon...

Hello,
Sorry, oops, a reference plane won't do the job.
You would have to add a solid body, such as a lid, across the area of interest.
Then, on the flow sim tab, right click on 'Input Data', select 'Component Control'. You should also be able to find 'Component Control' on the top menu bar under 'Flow Simulation'. Then disable the lid body.
You should be able to then select one of the lid surfaces for your values.
Rich.
