Particle Generation Failure

Good day,

Please, I am trying to generate 30 particles, but only one particle has been generated while the others are failing.

For the factory, I set the position to random, velocity to fix, and orientation to fix.

Below is the picture of the particle used in the simulation.

thank you

    Hi, typically i'd expect it to fail in that case if there isn't enough space for the particles to be placed. If the factory area is relatively small the first particle can be placed in, but maybe there isn't enough space to place the subsequent particles? EDEM check the placement 20 times using random positions and fails after 20 attempts.

    Regards

    Stephen
