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.

      Tracking the movement of particles through the domain can lead to an incomplete fate. A usual remedy is to increase the “Max. Number of Steps” in Tracking Parameters of DPM setup to follow the particles for a longer distance. If this does not change the fate of the particles, a deeper look at the particle velocities may explain why an increase of integration steps would not help. If, for example, the relative velocity between the mill walls of a stirrer and the particles is almost zero, the fate of these particles will remain incomplete. Another possible reason is that the particles are stuck in the recirculation zone.
