Run simulation until special event occurs

Hi,

I want to generate a dense packing with fix insert/pack and particle growing. This is very common and no problem with fix adapt. The growing ends when the particles have a reached a given pressure. The pressure is calculated by compute pressure. Since I have a lot of particles and slightly CPU I wonder if there is something new in interrupting a run when a special event occurs to save CPU time? Or is run N every n, check with if and going on else dump results and quit still the preferred solution?

Regards,

Paul

Hi Paul,

something like "run until" would be nice, but at the moment it's not possible out-of-the box. The only possibility is to run a couple steps and then check if the condition is met as outlined before

Best

I would support this feature request
run until ..
.. force equal something
.. velocity smaller than nothing
... something happens.

At the moment I use loop, run pre no post no and if conditions but this is not very handy for event driven scripts
