How to save height of the particle insertion surface and mesh surface?

Submitted by laudari on Tue, 03/09/2021 - 16:43

Hello LIGGGHTS forum,
really appreciate your help.

I want to save the distance between particle insertion surface and mesh surface in dump file.

How can I save this distance/height ?

Thank you.

Hello,
I believe you will eventually want to use the fix store/state command:

However, I do not know how else to help you. When you say "between particle insertion surface and mesh surface", what are these surfaces?

I have used the store/state command to output the initial heights of the particles for use in hopper simulations (to generate the bands you often see in papers).

Sorry for late reply.
@mschramm

I have an inclined surface where I dropped particles. I need to save the distance from particles dropping points to the point where particles touch on inclined plane(before bounce). Any suggestions?
Except that I am able to save other information .
Thank you.
