This is because the particle solver doesn&#8217;t see any boundary, the mesh is continuous and no data could be saved. Since R19.0 a warning message pointing to the usage of the 1:1 interface will be printed out. In the case of GGI, there will be data in the histogram .csv file available, but only for the outgoing particles at interface and not for the incoming particles.
