Velocity Gradient plots show the speed of the gas within the flowpath compared to minimum lift velocities under similar pressure and temperature conditions.  These plots are activated through the Graphs->Velocity Gradient Plots menu.  This menu item is disabled until a run is made.

 

In the case below, a complex wellbore is loading up below 1500 feet where gas injection is taking place.
