Hello everyone
I have created a sieve through which particle can pass through (sieve size 75 micrometre) .But when I run the simulation in LIGGGHTS the particles (particle size 50-100 micrometre) does not pass through the sieve instead they settle on top of sieve. Can anyone suggest any method to sole the problem.
Thanks in advance

try fix massflow/mesh/sieve
See https://www.cfdem.com/media/DEM/docu/fix_massflow_mesh_sieve.html
I have tried a "real" sieve out of STL Walls in conjunction with move mesh viblin, but as this require a lot of triangles this leads to very slow simulation speed (rule of thumb: one triangle is as expensive as 11 particles), finally I used the university cluster with ~100 cores but needed 2 weeks as well ..... the result was OK but not as good as I expected. (at this time the massflow/mesh/sieve didn't exist).
Good Luck,
Christian.
