We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

      The UDF in this solution assumes the use of either the standard electric field model or a user supplied magnetic field. Particles are “charged” randomly by setting a DPM Scalar value to represent the number of electrons. The force is applied using the DPM_BODY_FORCE UDF as the force is not applied directly by the fluid as with DPM DRAG.
