Possible bug

  Where solids have been copied (in SpaceClaim) or are part of a pattern (in Solidworks), Discovery Live has some unexpected behaviour. For some reason, some of the solids are not taken into account - and which solids are considered can change between solutions. If each solid is made independantly then the correct behaviour is seen. I presume this is not intended behaviour, but either way could this be changed?

  Hello cpjmcquillan
  
  I did a quick test case by creating a pattern of cylinders using Move command. I could see that the solid bodies were respected and flow was not passing through these patterned bodies. I am attaching the test case for your reference.
  
  The objects in both files you shared have a very small thickness as compared to the overall dimensions of the enclosure. This could be the reason behind your observation. Please try increasing the thickness of the objects within the enclosure or reduce the enclosure size. Also, try running the model on higher graphics card with max fidelity.
