LIGGGHTS Command: Execute

Submitted by Mahya on Fri, 10/25/2019 - 21:54

Hi,
I want to insert particles at fixed points while CFD is running. I tried using execute in liggghtsCommands for create_atoms with startTime and endTime. But even with the runEveryCouplingStep off, LIGGGHTS creates atoms at each coupling step. How should I create only one atom at t=0.0001s for instance?

command
(
create_atoms
label
single
number
number
number
units
box
);
labels
(
1
);
scalars
(
0.05
0.0
0.005
);
runFirst off;
runLast off;
runEveryCouplingStep off;
runEveryWriteStep off;
startTime 0.0001;
endTime 0.0001;

Result:
One atom is created at each coupling step after 0.0001s.

Thank you
