Hi everyone!

So, let's say there is a transient simulation of multi-component solid heat-exchanging material Lagrangian particles of different sizes with multiple outlets - and we want to see the particles distribution at some outlet over the whole time, not just at certain moment of time (as Boundary Sampling allows us to).

The issues are:
1) Outlet can be set as "sticky" for particles making them stay there in "Stuck" state for gathering statistics, which is great - except for the fact that stuck particles behaviour is simulated thus taking more and more computational time.
2) Parcel Transfer Injector could have been used to transfer stuck particles to massless particles, but - "Input and output particles must be spherical, isothermal, and of a single component".

And so the only thing we have is Boundary Sampling data which changes every time step.

Any ideas - how to easily accumulate that data to get let's say particle distribution function over time?

Could you use a table that auto-extracts particle distribution at the outlet every x number of timesteps and saves to file?

Thank you for the idea

It can be done that way - but those files have to be processed afterwards somehow and there is no "Auto-Load" option for the external file table (to load the saved table), so unfortunately it does not seem to result in data available during the simulation run :-/
