Air Flow Calculations through part in Inventor

[Chris-Draw]

I have designed a Grille for Air Flow, can anyone help in how to do the calculations of Air Flow, IE How Much air can be pushed through the grille. Rather or as well as a physical test I wondered if Inventor users know if its easy to do calcs for Air Flow? Any help would be appreciated. Best rgds CHRIS

Edit the Grill Feature.
Click the >> to expand the dialog box.
Is that what you are after?

I can change the Grille easy enough thanks, its just the way to do calcs, someone told me that Solid Works had a solution for calculating this, I can only think its the Area calculation for a given sketch, maybe someone knows better.

JD was trying to tell you that the grill feature tool tells you the flow area when you hit the >> button

Now I see what you mean, thank you all very much.
