I have a particle counter set as a cylinder and I am setting the boundaries of the counter as a wall and having the condition set to freeze. I then emit 10 particles and all 10 hit the cylinder and freeze there as expected. However when I I use cpt.pcnt1.alpha and set time selection to last with integral using summation I get a value of 0.55 or something that is not quite right. In reality I expect 1.00. I have attached a screen shot as well as my .mph file. Any help is appreciated.
