Hi,

I'm currently working on simulating particle injection in an air flow pipe in Ansys Fluent. I'm following an instruction video where I have followed every step exactly to the letter. Im trying to save particle diameter data to access in post-processing, but the 'Data File Quantities' option under 'File' is greyed out and not accessible (see picture below). Does anyone have an idea why this is? I've initialized the solution, so this can't be the problem. Might it be because I have the student version of Ansys? Thanks for your help in advance.

The usual problem is uncoupled (not interacting with continuous phase) particles or that you've not run a track. I've not exported particle data recently though, most/all post processing is done within Fluent.
