chute_wear dump file does not give velocity

Submitted by prasantud on Sun, 08/07/2011 - 14:19

Hi everybody,
I am recently running the in.chute_wear without any modification. It is generating the vtk files and the dump file without the velocity. It shows the following error while running on the screen.

WARNING: You are using the wear model, which is currently in beta mode!
WARNING: Dump mesh/gran/VTK contains a mesh with no velocity allocated, will not dump velocity

Needs your valuable suggestions.

thanking you
Samantaray

Hi Samantaray,

the first warning is self-explanatory - the wear model implementation has not yet been experimentally validated so use it with caution.
The second warning should not be issued here - just ignore it! will be fixed in the next release

Cheers,
Christoph

hi Christoph,
thanks for the reply.

The previous warning happens with most of the examples of LIGGGHTS. WARNING: Dump mesh/gran/VTK contains a mesh with no velocity allocated, will not dump velocity. This gives the zero shear stress in the Paraview.

do you know how to change the density and diameter of the particle and their default values in the atom_style command. It is not mentioned in the manual.
regards,
Samantaray

>>This gives the zero shear stress
That has nothing to do with the velocity warning. Actually, the shear stress is zero because the contact times are short and you are unlikely to capture a contact upon dumping, so you would need e.g. a fix ave/time to see something here
