Creating atoms after restart files

Submitted by SHUBHAM AGARWAL on Wed, 07/07/2021 - 00:29

Hi
I am using LIGGGHTS-flexible fiber version
I have a step-wise simulation process for which I create several restart files. Later in the simulation, I need to create some atoms, However, I am not able to do that as LIGGGHTS does not allow it.
Is there a way to get around this issue?

Thanks
Shubham

Hello
Are you trying to add atom types or simply more atoms to your simulation?

If you are adding more atoms to the simulation there should be nothing keeping you from reading in your restart file -> run 1 -> add new fixes for insertion.
I believe you need to add the extra run step in between to get all particle information synced.

Hello
Thanks for the reply
I need to add new atom as well as bond types to my simulation
