Hi, experts.

The items that are output in the end file are summarized on the following web page.

https://help.altair.com/hwcfdsolvers/acusolve/topics/acusolve/post_processing_programs_acutranstrace.htm

Of these items, could you please explain in detail the difference between "ElmId" and "ElemId"? Specifically, I would like to ask about the following three points:

1. Could you please explain the definitions of "Element" and "Element set" written on the web page?
2. Is an element different from seeds?
3. What rules/regularities are used for numbering "element" and "element set"?

    Element Set - based on the ELEMENT_SET command in the AcuSolve input file - a collection of individual 3D mesh elements

    Element - An individual 3D mesh element, part of a single Element Set

    The seed is the 'particle' being tracked.
