Hi,

I create a particle bed for geometry (please see the attached files). However, I can not add motion to this geometry as a material block has already been set up. Is there any way to add a motion to this geometry?

    Hi Chao,

     

    The only option for you to give motion is create a box smaller than the radius of particle and provide the motion to the geometry.

    For example in the below picture you can see the geometry is overlapping (nearly radius times of the particle) which makes particles to fix to geometry.

    When you define motion to geometry, geometry moves which in-turn moves the particle.
