Hi, I have simulate the settling of solid particle under gravity, After it reach a stable fix bed. I want to output the particle location to be used as the particle_input data to simulate the heat and mass transfer further. Thus, may I ask how can I get to location formation of the solid particle in the simulated fixed bed and how to use it as be initial state for particle to further simulate the heat and mass transfer?
Thank you so much for your help
yes i got it. Thank you so much
But i found another problem. I use particle _input_data to generate a random packed bed. However, it seems like it does not run, while no error display.

This looks like a bug in MFiX. The array des_t_s is not allocated, and the monitor code attempts to access this array. We are looking into the problem and will follow up here. Thanks for the report.

The reason the array is not allocated is that you have turned off the energy equations.
When energy equations are disabled, the particle temperatures are not computed or tracked. The “Temperature” control in the Monitors pane is disabled, as you can see. But the box is checked.
It looks like you must have had energy equations on, enabled the particle temperature monitor, then turned the energy equations off - this results in inconsistent settings and we need to prevent this in the interface.
If you turn energy equations back on, the model should run without problems. If you need to disable energy equations, then turn off the temperature monitors first.
