Hello,
I need to trace a specific agglomerate in CFD-DEM simulation and see its path over time.
Is it possible in EDEM post-processing?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

    Hi Fatemeh,

    You can use manual selection to select the particle to be traced and go to Analyst in particles uncheck the display option so that all particles are hidden.

    Then go to Selections--> Paticle Selections-->manual selection  (the particle to be traced)

     

    Please refer below picture for reference of the above said option

    Thanks,

    Thank you Prasad,
    I could select specific particles and trace them.
    But other particles are still in the domain.
    Is it possible to remove other particles and display only particles in the manual selection?

    Regards,
