Hi all
I have a ring that rotates around the Z axis . Is there any other way (except to change period) to determine the rotation rate?
*********
fix movecad1 all move/mesh mesh cad1 rotate origin 0. 0. 0. axis 0. 0.0 5.0 period 3

THANK YOU

see dump mesh/vtk
http://141.44.152.180/dem/LIGGGHTS/doc/dump.html
mesh/vtk args = zero or more keyword/ value pairs and one or more dump-identifiers
keywords = output
output values = face or interpolate
dump-identifier = 'stress' or 'id' or 'wear' or 'vel'
You can find out the rotational velocity when you open the resulting vtk fileseries in paraview, create a new view and use "spreadsheet view".
If you are interested in influencing the rotational velocity over time (or simply love to use omega instead of period) try the fix move rotate/variable.
