Flow Simulation - Pressure In, Volume Out

Sorry but I posted this in the general SW forum.

I'm new to flow simulation. I've been watching many videos on what to do but I still can't find my answer. I have a solid assembly that will have a fixed pressure in and I need to know how much volume will exit. Everything I see I will only calculate pressure drop. Is there a way to calculate exit volume?

Thanks, BG

You would need to set a pressure drop across the inlet / outlet, then you could calculate the mass flow / volumetric flow. Make sure you set your wall roughness in the properties tab, especially if you have any narrow / high velocity flow passages, and check out your mesh carefully- consider turning on mesh refinement.
