We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

I am simulating an intake manifold, that was imported from Solidworks as a step file. I have volume extracted each outlet and inlet, and defined each outlet singularly in volume extract (but would need to do the inner and outer runners as pairs). But, when I define the inlet and outlet I get the error messages in the image below, and also get surface bodies will be excluded from simulation. **FYI this is in Ansys Discovery** In additiom, to it stating I need to add flow outlets, when I have already defined them.
