elliptical motion of body in LIGGGHTS

Submitted by rahulsoni on Fri, 03/20/2020 - 07:57

I have gone through the move/mesh command, it gives the option for linear, wiggle, riggle, viblin and vibrot type of mesh motions. However, I want to achieve the elliptical type motion of the body. It is for the simulation of industrial screens. So, it is like there is an inclined meshed screen. The screen should move in the elliptical path without rotation or changing the angle (as shown in the attached figure).

How is it possible to achieve in LIGGGHTS? Someone, please help.

Use the style linear/variable and adjust the velocity component variables in the script such that an ellipse is formed.
