During our simulation, the particles are seen to be going out of the designated boundary conditions. What shall we do?

    Hi,

    If you have a geometry (blue in the above image?) then you should ensure that this is set to be Physical not Virtual. This is set in Creator > Geometries > Geometry Name > Type option.

    If the geometry is Physical and particles are passing through it then this is most likely due to time-step value used. Typically simulations are run at 20% Rayleigh time-step but smaller values can often be required for high velocities and forces in the system.

    Regards
