Hello all,
I want to store the computed pairwise properties like overlap and contact force in a variable . Since they are not per-atom property and as they are vectors , I am unable to store them in a variable. How can it be done? I can use the data from dump but the need for storing in the variable is because I want to use these contact data (overlap , contact forces) in real time during the simulation. Even if there is no possibility of storing those data in a variable suggest me some ideas of using those data in real time run. I want to simulate something based on the contact data which I can't do without storing the data in a variable.
Kindly reply if anyone has any idea about this.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
Im working in something similar, so asking to you, Im using the command dump local after used the command compute. Like This:
compute fc all pair/gran/local id pos force force_normal force_tangential contactArea delta
dump fc2 all local 1000 post5/fc*.vtk c_fc[1] c_fc[2] c_fc[3] c_fc[4] c_fc[5] c_fc[6] c_fc[7] c_fc[8] c_fc[9] c_fc[10] c_fc[11] c_fc[12]
So, in this dump file you have in columns the information, corresponding to respective atom pair. After that I hope to use the information in Matlab to post process.
I dont know how to calculate the variables at the time simulation, Im looking for that isuue too. Did you solve that?. Please help me.
Anyway, have a great year 2019 !
