Hello everyone,

I'm currently using the Discrete Phase Model in Fluent CFD to simulate dust deposition on surfaces. My focus lies in determining the quantity of particles trapped on these surfaces. After each simulation, I can obtain a summary of the trapped particles, considering varying parameters such as fluid flow velocity and particle size. However, I aim to establish the number of trapped particles as an output parameter. This way, I can conduct an experimental design where the number of trapped particles is automatically recorded for each simulated set of parameters. Please assist on how to set the trapped number of particles as an Output Parameter in Fluent.

Check the DPM Reports and Surface Integrals; there are options but you may need to apply some lateral thinking.
