creating multispere parcel

Submitted by maryamshademani on Tue, 11/13/2018 - 18:50

Hello,
I am trying to create multi sphere parcels included 9 spheres. and I used the following command:
fix pts1 all particletemplate/multisphere 15485863 atom_type 1 density constant 2500 nspheres 9 ntry 1000000 spheres file data/stone1.multisphere scale 0.001 type 1
If I want to have 200 parcels, should I create manually 200 particle parameters (positions, radii) in the data/stone1.multisphere file?
is there any way to create 200 multishperes? because the shape of all them are similar.

You can only have 1 multisphere per file. So if you want to have 200 different multispheres then you need to create a file for each of them. Obviously if you just want 200 multispheres of the same shape then you need to only define one template and use inserts to create all of them in your simulation.
