Q. How can I do particle tracking of non-mass-less particles (i.e. particles with a finite mass) as a PURE postprocessing task? If I have a computed .res file, can I take it into cfxpost and generate particle tracks (not streamlines)? The particles do not modify the flow (one-way coupling), but I do not want to insert particles in cfxpre, as I do not know prior to the simulation, where to insert them. This is a steady simulation.
A. If you want to include the mass of the particles in any particle tracking option then you need to set this up in CFX-Pre. However, as you are performing steady state one-way-coupling the particle tracking option only needs to be run for the final iteration. So you can run one additional iteration from your current res file with the particle tracking options enabled.
