Transient Volume Flow through a Plane
 
Hello! I'm new to here and to CFD in general, I'm looking to learn allot. I'm currently a second year engineering student in Arizona, and I'm doing this for fun and experience with the student licenses.

I have a model of a centrifugal water pump and impeller, and I'm trying to get the program to output a graph or a chart of the volume flow through a plane positioned at the outlet. The impeller part is rotating from 0 rpm at an acceleration of 5000rpm/s, and the boundary conditions (temperature and pressure) are steady state for the inlet and outlet. I don't knew if this changes anything, but both my inlet and outlet faces are identified as outlets in the output monitor.

I ran the simulation partway through to see if everything was working right, and was able to take out most the data I was expecting, but now I'm completely stuck. I would appreciate either a push in the right direction or a tutorial of some sort.

Is there any other information you guys need from me?

Thanks!

How about using Monitor Points? These are plotted with every iteration :)
Are you aware that Autodesk Simulation CFD has it's own forum? Might be quicker to get answers there.
