Look at the values for "ReasonForTermination" that are added to the streamlines. Here are what the numbers mean:<div><br></div><div><div>1: OUT_OF_DOMAIN</div><div>2: NOT_INITIALIZED</div><div>3: UNEXPECTED_VALUE</div>

What I did is to import the inlet and internalmesh separately, apply 'mask point' on the inlet, and use filter 'stream tracer with custom source', with mask point as source and internalmesh as the input. At some point, I got a satisfactory streamline plot, everything looks nice. However, I could not duplicate the plot. I went back and did everything the same, the resultant streamlines became extremely short, only 1/10 of length of the flow pathway. And tuning the parameters didn't give me better results either. </span><br style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">
