Adjust the wall to match the sample.

Submitted by tshan on Wed, 11/10/2010 - 07:22

Hi Christoph,

I ran two examples in the new released liggghts, but when I realized them in paraview, the wall and the particles did not match with each other. i.e. the positions of the wall and pouring particles did not match correctly in the chute_wear and movingMesh examples. You can see them in the attached files. However, there's no problem when I ran some other examples.

So I want to ask you how can I adjust one of the wall and sample to match with the other? Or, how can I resolve this issue?

Thank you.

Best regards,
Tong

Hi Tong,

Awaiting the Christoph's reply. I can give you a clue from my weak experience. Sometimes with pizza.py, you not need to execute the function d.scale() because the dump is already at the good scale.

When you see only Unscaling dump ... you execute d.scale(). Otherwise, it is not necessary to execute this function.

I hope this idea will help you.

JF

Hi Tong,

yes probably is it something with the post processing - because in the first picture you can see the particles being deflected...

It could be the d.scale() issue (which should not be the case with the latest version of pizza.py) or you are not visualizing the correct geometry, i.e. for the moving mesh you have to take the dumped stl geometry instead of the original one
