Re: non-planar lids
I never use the automatic lids (old dog, new tricks), and in this instance it seems simplest to simply make a dummy body to act as your lid so you can use whatever shape suits your needs.

Re: non-planar lids
When i draw a circular band using the feature manager and then specify the inside surface as a outlet boundry in flow simulation I get an error message. There are three slots in the valve cylindrical body that the band covered. I have tried makin the band end at the OD of the cylindrical body, plus, have it extend a couple of thousands into the slots. Still get the same error not lying on a boundry between a solid or liquid region.

Re: non-planar lids
can you post a picture of it? I'm in 2007 so you'd have to .step it out, but a simple .jpeg might be enough to help explain

Re: non-planar lids
It is like a cartridge valve with outlet holes/slots on the cylindrical valve body. Cannot provide you the model as it is proprietary.

Re: non-planar lids
so something like this?
If the port exits the curved face you should still be able to create a mating curve solid and use that as the boundary

Re: non-planar lids
then there's likely a hole someplace in the model, otherwise this should work. Have you tried checking the geometry and having it make a fluid body assembly? This will often show you were the issue is.
Another solution is to temporarily set it as an external simulation, add a huge inlet flow, start the simulation and let it run a few cycles, then stop it and look for the high velocity at your leak.
