    Valve Quick Start Tutorial

    In this tutorial, you will simulate the flow through a hydraulic valve. The working fluid is water, and the valve is about half open. The objective is to visualize the flow and to obtain the pressure drop through the valve.

    This tutorial should take about 20 minutes to setup and run.
