Hi,
I need to insert particles randomly, or at fixed points, in a limited number and at a very low rate (CFDEM case). I am currently using fix insert/rate/region command. Although it is to insert particles randomly, they are inserted too close to the center of the defined region. How can I insert particles in the whole region? (It is not because of the processor boundary. I use overlapcheck no.)
As an alternative, I tried using create_atoms command. Since this command adds the atoms once, I used it in combination with run command (i.e. create_atoms|run 1000 upto|create_atoms|run 2000 upto|...). But I noticed that just one-way coupling is established until the last command is completed. Therefore, It seems like I cannot add particles to my CFDEM case, using create_atoms command at a particular rate. Any other ways to define this type of insertion during simulation?
Thanks
