As I understand, I need to create a journal file that can read particles' radii and coordinates from my data file and create spherical regions and then patch them with secondary phase volume fraction.
My doubt is that I have assigned two fluid regions, one for the inert gas and the other for the metal. The particles will be above the the metal block. What I see in the Boundary Conditions in the Fluent GUI are Inlet, Outlet, Walls and the interior.
When I want to display the interior fluid region by remove walls in the display port, it shows blank. And all my particles will be inside the fluid region only. So will they be visible after the simulation if I remove the gas domain walls? Please correct me if I am wrong.

My particles will be above the metal block and the gas will enter at one end and exit at the other end.
