Is there a tool within Simulation CFD to extract the time it takes a particle to cross a plane through the geometry and then reach another plane through the geometry toward the exit. To describe this question further, This does not mean the Inlet and the outlet, this is some plane down the line after the inlet and/or multiple inlets to a plane that is not quite to the exit.

That Worked wonderful. Attached is an image which showes points on a horizontal plane roughly one quarter height of vessel and going to a plane which is vertical roughly half way through system.
I chose to use 16 trace pts on the plane. Doing this makes machine run very slow, but does get the answer. I simply adjusted the set property timestep count until I saw a trace pass my plane which gives me the fastest path of residence time for a pt to travel that distance.
Thanks for your time.
