Directional bonding

Submitted by okeles on Fri, 10/29/2010 - 00:31

Hi all,

I wonder if it is possible to introduce a directional bond between particles. Unlike cohesion, Im looking for some kind of bonding which is effective when there are contacts only in specific directions of the particles.

Thanks,

Ozgur

There is a bond model (see here) but it is in beta an not yet released.

If a cohesion model would do for you, you could modify the current cohesion model by projecting the cohesion force vector in the constraint direction you desire
