Dear all,
I am trying to implement a Lagrangian model. All my test cases run fine with and without the particle tracking but I have the problem that all the particle track files that I produced so far had no data in it. Does anybody have an idea what causes this problem? Would be very happy about some input! |

Are your particles actually going somewhere? Is the time scale long enough for them to move?

I have been running a steady state simulation which somehow does not work out! It appears to me that only once the amount of particles that I specified are injected since the partilce tracks were only recorded when I stopped the simulation after a certain iteration step during the calculation (after 40 steps). If the simulation runs longer than 40 iteration steps, the track file contains no data.
Thats why I changed my steady state analysis to transient. Right now I am wainting for the results |
