How do I find out the correct trajectory of air particles.

  I constructed a model in Solidworks for a filtre that filtres microparticles found in the air - the model is very basic at this stage-. I am using Fluid flow Fluent. The simmulation seems to be showing me something, but my problem is that not all the air that enters the inlets come out of the outlets - see attached picture. My question is how can I setup the simmulation so it shows me the exact trajectory of the air that comes inside the filtre.
  I am a total begginer at using ANSYS, even if you can reffer me to some learning materials it would be much appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.

  Hi,
  To understand the trajectory of air inside the filter, you can use the pathline visualization in ANSYS Fluent. pathlines are a great way to visualize the path that a fluid element will take through the domain.
