We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

As an aside you're tracking parcels and not particles - it's a terminology issue from when the model was first introduced. 

With 50% incomplete you have a lot of mass stuck somewhere in the domain. That may be a "success" for a separator, but also suggests some more care should be taken with boundary conditions. Using the Particle Tracks panel skip some (with 30k in the system 300 isn't a bad idea) and see where they're going.  Increasing the particle max steps may be a good idea, but use some care otherwise you may be waiting a long time for a DPM update.Â
