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. (For clarify there are alot of fillets etc that may be causing the issue, but unsure). <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/22-03-2025-1742635944-Screenshot 2025-03-22 092919.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-426506","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_topic_id":["426506"],"_bbp_subscription":["532188","2327"],"_bbp_author_ip":["31.205.199.217"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["426595"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["426595"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2025-03-24 10:02:45"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_engagement":["532188","2327"],"_btv_view_count":["191"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_edit_last":["532188"],"_bbp_revision_log":["a:1:{i:426507;a:2:{s:6:\"author\";i:532188;s:6:\"reason\";s:0:\"\";}}"],"_edit_lock":["1742831357:532188"]},"test":"tnkfrost09hotmail-co-uk"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/426506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/426506\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":426507,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/426506\/revisions\/426507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=426506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
