Particle impact and pass-through reports

The flow solver generates a ParticleAndImpactTrackingSummary.dat file which contains:

• The Particle Tracking Summary table

• The Particle Surface Impact and Screen Pass-Through Tracking Report tableThe software generates this table when you request a particle impact report in the Flow Surface simulation object or a pass-through report in the Screen simulation object.
