Hello there! I try to simulate transient flying water droplets (as inert particles) in the cyclone separator. Also I use Ansys Workbench 2020R1 version. The problem is - i can't understand how to see tracks and droplets that fly in results. I try to activate "partickle tracking" but there need .trk file. I can't understand how to export this file from fluent. Please help!

Are you looking into the results under the "Result" Cell or in the Solution Cell: please post-process under Fluent, first.

Yeah, i want to see particle trajectory in "results".

Something like this (it's example from one of youtube videos)

You need then to export particle tracks after finishing the run into CFD-Post Particle Tracks Format. After that you can read the Fluent Tracks into CFD-Post.

Yeah, that's right, BUT particle tracking in results need file in ."trk". Fluent particles tracks export saves tracks like different formats. not .trk
