      Discovery Live currently does not support this feature. You could work around this limitation by manually calculating the equivalent velocity as:

      (Inlet velocity magnitude) = (mass flow rate) / {(Density of fluid) * (Area of inlet face)}

      The area of the inlet face can be obtained using the Measure tool from Measure tab.
