Can IESVE output pressure difference in an elevator shaft?

I'm trying to model an elevator shaft in IES to study the pressure difference between the top of the shaft and the ground floor. But I can't find how the program can output the pressure difference (it generates cfm and temperature). I couldn't find anything in the manuals or online. Has anyone done this before?

I don't think you can get a pressure output from MacroFlow, but you can use those MacroFlow results as boundary conditions for MicroFlow. The MicroFlow CFD results do give pressure.

yeah their support confirms that I need to use microflow to get the pressure difference.
