  Here I have attached the initial mesh with the indicators showing where I would expect the inlet and outlet flow to go, however, after completing my transient run and examining the velocity profiles I found that only one of the outlets was actually being utilized as seen here:
  I didn't think there was any issue with my setup??

  If you are using Mass-flow-outlet, look at 7.4. Boundary Conditions (ansys.com) on how to define it.
