ProductsAbaqus/Explicit TypeModel data LevelPartPart instance Required parameters
- MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PARTICLES
-
Set this parameter equal to an upper bound of the maximum number of particles expected to be generated during the analysis.
- NAME
-
Set this parameter equal to the name of the particle generator.
- TYPE
-
Set this parameter equal to the type of particle to be generated. Only PD3D elements are supported.

Optional parameters
- MAX ATTEMPTS PER INCREMENT
-
Set this parameter equal to the maximum number of particle insertion attempt cycles the generator makes before halting generation for an increment. The default value is 10.
- MAX INSERTION ATTEMPTS
-
Set this parameter equal to the maximum number of attempts the generator makes to place a particle of a given size before rejecting that particle size. The default value is 15.
- SOLID FRACTION
-
Set this parameter equal to a threshold value that will temporarily halt the particle generator for an increment if the region near the inlet has a high volume of particles. The threshold value is a particle volume fraction over a volume that extends in front of the inlet surface, where is the maximum particle radius for the generator. The default value is 0.4.
