How to check the dirt thermal resistance of flow stocks?

I have been doing calculations related to heat transfer recently, and the fouling thermal resistance of heat exchangers is usually obtained from relevant manuals. I would like to ask fellow users: how can one check whether PROII is capable of calculating the fouling thermal resistance of fluids? If it is possible, how should one do that?
The U-Value (fouling) must be the thermal resistance due to fouling; right-click on the heat exchanger and select Date review window to see it
Generally, the thermal resistance due to dirt is determined based on manuals or experience; simulation software cannot calculate it on its own – it’s not that intelligent yet. Hehe, feel free to come and discuss more, dear user! Hehe. . .
