Finding the number of particles passing through a plane in a transient DPM simulation

Hi!

Does anyone know how to find the number of particles passing through a plane in a transient DPM simulation? Do I need do define a UDF, or does Fluent have some built in function that gives how many particles that are passing through every time step?

Check summary under tracked particles for a list of boundaries where the particles have escaped. Otherwise, have a read of this thread on creating a UDF and internal boundary.

Thanx

I'll try that.
