Simulation of deformation using multisphere

Hello LIGGGHTS Experts,

I wonder if can I prepare simple strain of a cylindrical metal sample in the LIGGGHTS program?
I tried to create some sample using multisphere. I'm attaching my file. Do I get one solid from these few points(atoms)? In what other way can I prepare the multisphere input file? Should I provide points manually? Should I fill the whole area of the figure with atoms? How to prepare such a file?

Next my problem is that the sample does not deform but stays the same size despite the fact that I put pressure on it.
The sample stays i in unharmed condition but the mesh move through it freely. What could be the reason?

Please, give me some tips.

Best wishes,
Agnieszka

Hey,

You can deal with deformable multispheres using the LIGGGHTS-WITH-BONDS package. Just look it up in the forum.

I will try to use it.
