Fluent-EDEM coupled simulation

  Hello !
  
  I´m doing a coupled simulation using ANSYS Fluent and EDEM. I´m simulating a coating process in a fluidized bed. My question is about the coupling interface.
  
  I want the simulation to solve the flow-field-equations every say (50) timesteps but want to calculate the drag on the paricle for all time.
  
  I was looking in the coupling folder but I didn´t find the right file or how to edit the code. Has someone did that before or an idea how to do it ?
  
  Best Regards

  I am highlighting following link from DEM solution regarding the interface and support on it:
  
  https://www.edemsimulation.com/news/dem-solutions-announces-availability-of-new-parallel-edem-cfd-coupling-for-ansys-fluent/
  
  Coupling is done one at the beginning of each time step.You can try switch on / off equations via journaling on the Fluent side.
