How to check the mass flow rate of a specific area?

Hello, i made a simulation, and now I want to see mass flow rate in the designated area, such as the red box on the figure. If the results plane's bulk  is used, it will directly regard three as one plane and cannot check them separately , as shown in the green box. Is there any good solution? thank you!

Hello,

 

If the plane on which the bulk calculator is operating cuts through more than one area, you can select the area (region) for which you want to see the flow rate.  It will get highlighted on the model so you can tell which one it is.

If the area you are interested in is part of of a bigger area such as Area B is part of region 1 in the image below then the bulk calculator does not allow for further segmentation.

In that case, you'd need to modify the CAD geometry so that the area of interest is a separate area.
