      Some of the reasons for losing DPM particles or injection locations are explained in Solution#2051182. Besides these, a peculiar issue of cone injections near symmetry boundaries could be the incorrect specification of Azimuthal start/stop angles. Please refer to Sec.23.3.5. of Fluent User’s Guide to get more information on the definition of these parameters. The attached solution provides an example to elaborate the same.
