Hi Raef<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The substrate is set as a wall and the cell zone conditions for it are solid.  The substrate is meshed (I have played around and haven’t been able to remove the mesh on this section.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The setup is simply a closed system, a sphere above the substrate, only one particle is present as this simulation is merely a proof of concept before I build it up and work towards the final model.  <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When using the post processor and viewing the time-step animation the particle simply passes through the substrate without even a hint of interaction, I suspect you are correct, and the substrate is being treated as a fluid domain.  I’ll look into it, can you think of anything obvious I may have missed?  I’m no expert in CFD.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
