No there is no particle integration time step before the particle aborts.

Interesting thing to note is that my DPM summary is as follows:

This is my DPM settings:

From one of your article I found the relationship between number of parcels and number of particles:

Multiphase Flows: All Categories>Fluids - Multiphase Flows>How are number of particles per parcel calculated for unsteady DPM simulations?

From this what I understand is that I would release 20 particles (because form the ecxcel sheet, #particles/ parcel ~ 1 and number of stream = 20) every 0.01s, so for the entirity of the simulation I would have 20*200 particles for 2 seconds. 

Instead, from my PATH_ABORT section of my UDF, I get this repeating particle ID's:

Why do I see So many particles with repeating ID's and varied values of particle velocity at imoact with the custom wall?

I hope the question is clear.


Thanks,
