Default Hydrostatic head in fluent

mali28 is on a distinguished road
I am doing a simple 3D simulation of a vertical cylinder with the inlet boundary condition described as mass flow inlet and outlet boundary condition as mass outflow.
I have also activated the gravity term but I do not see the hydrostatic head in the static pressure contours in the results.
Fluent should be able to compute the hydrostatic head once the gravity term is enabled.

Can any one tell me what is wrong?

Thank you.
