Hello every body,
I am using lagrangian multiphase model to simulate particles in indoor condition.
the problem is that when I activate escape condition for any boundary the lagrangian does not work any more. Do you know what is the problem?

Pretty unlikely, since the information you've given here is ... a little low. Could you please describe a bit more what your issue is? Especially what "does not work anymore" should mean? Steady, Unsteady? Other physics? Etc...

Dear Abdul,

I use steady simulation, K-epsilon, 3 dimensional. I want to remove from the system the particles that touch floor ( because they settle down on the floor). There is an option to use escape mode for the lagrangian phase, but when I activate escape mode, the lagrangian solver stops and iterations continue without giving any data for lagrangian. However I found another way to solve it. I specify the method to be Rebound. Then I put the coefficient to the amount Zero.

Dear Abdul,

I have another question.
I have 20 parcels for 10000 particles. After finishing the iterations of Lagrangian solver Usually I have some parcels that reach the maximum sub-steps. Is the result reliable?
The way of solving this problem is to increase the maximum number of sub-steps, but it will take a lot of time and the track file will be so big.
Thank you in advance

As always this depends on your specific case and your requirements in terms of accuracy, hence it's pretty hard to make any assumptions.

But in general I can tell you that you can't always avoid big files or long computing times just by saying "it takes too long for me and the files are so big". I mean, I know that you would appreciate when it would be much faster, as nearly anybody else. But some kind of simulation just takes some effort.
