CHUTE CONVEYOR

Hi,

Hello,

I'm starting a project, aiming to determine the shear forces on a conveyor belt. I have a geometry .igs and .dwg; How do I import these in a way the Liggghts recognize?

And how do I tell Liggghts that I want to calculate the force on the belt, after the particles come out of a chute?

It's my first work.

Hello Marcelo,

I suggest to convert your geometry to VTK or STL format by some CAD software (for example, Gmsh)
To calculate the force acting on the geometry please follow this https://www.cfdem.com/media/DEM/docu/mesh_module_stress.html

Thanks.

I did, I converted it to .stl.
Now I'm having trouble saying where the particles come in, any tips? I could not get the cartesian information out of the chute inlet.
