ABAQUS CFD Fluid flow into pipe with sealed end problems

ABAQUS CFD Fluid flow into pipe with sealed end problems

ABAQUS CFD Fluid flow into pipe with sealed end problems

(OP)
I want to model a simple fluid flow into a pipe with a sealed end. My model is a simple cylinder with the wall surface set to No Slip Wall BC and the ends as inlet/outlet. Here are my BC values:

One end: Fluid inlet, 2000psi Pressure
Sealed end: Fluid outlet, velocities all set to 0
Walls: No slip

Of course, the results just show a uniform 2000psi throughout the whole step. I then changed the sealed end of the pipe to a wall BC but it shows the same results. Does anyone know how I can see the variation in pressure? Am I setting my BCs wrongly?

Image attached for reference.

Thanks a whole lot in advance!

Oh and the pressure inlet BC is set to Instantaneous, in case that is the problem too.
