      This is not directly possible, however you could create expressions in CFD-Post for the mass and momentum imbalances then use these expressions as Output Parameters. The force functions (force_x(), force_y(), and force_z() ) can be used to get the momentum imbalance by calculating the force on all inlets and outlets. The massFlow() function can be used to get the mass flow imbalance.
