    Hi xixihaha

    The diameter value in HMCFD is not used for calculations. The particle properties are sent by EDEM to the CFD solver.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you very much for your reply.
    What is the diameter set for?

    Hi xixihaha

    That value is not used for anything. Please ignore that. That field will not be available in future versions.
