create_atoms and atom_style

Submitted by Temeraire88 on Mon, 04/28/2014 - 08:20

Hi
have two problems. The first one is the ERROR message: Invalid atom style (atom.cpp:343) by using

atom_style hybrid granular molecular

this message occurs despite that I installed the molecule package.
(I use the LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC Version 2.3.8)

My second probleme appears by using the create_atoms command.

create_atoms 1 single -1 0 2 units box
set atom 1 type 1 diameter ${Durchmesser}
fix gravi all gravity 9.81 vector 0.0 0.0 -1

The particle is inserted and falls down on the ground (gravity) but when it touches the ground it seams that it gains an extra force and bumpes itself out of the simulation box. But whe i use the fix insert/pack command with the same atom type the inserted particles behave normally.

Does someone know how to fix these problems?
Thanks

Cheers, Jürgen

Please upgrade to 3.0.1 - we're a small developer group and thus don't have legacy support!

best wishes

Tried it with the new version but both problems still exist the only difference is the ERROR message by using atom_style molecular ERROR: Invalid atom style (../atom.cpp:382)
