LIGGGHTS TUTORIAL ERROR

Submitted by Minghao on Tue, 08/22/2017 - 17:49

Hi, everyone,

I am a new user of LIGGGHTS and CFDEMcoupling. When I try to start a tutorial chute_wear case of LIGGGHTS, it returns an error

------ -----------------------------------
dump dmp all custom/vtk 200 post/chute_*.vtk id type type x y z ix iy iz vx vy vz fx fy fz omegax omegay omegaz radius
ERROR: Invalid dump style (../output.cpp:634)
------------------------------------------

There is nothing created in the /post folder. I think there should be some.
Would someone tell me what had happened and how to solve it?
Kind thanks in advance!

Best Regards,
Minghao

Hallo Minghao,

did you compile LIGGGHTS with VTK support? USE_VTK = "ON" in Makefile.user

Hi, Alex,
Sorry for being way for so long time. Thanks for your reply!
Yes I kept the option "on". But the LIGGGHTS doesn't work well.
However, when I used the CFDEM-coupling, the LIGGGHTS is running very well, without any complaining. It can dump all the output, no problems.
I think that's enough for my case!

Hi Alexander,

I'm having the same problem as Minghao. I've already made sure VTK is turned on in Makefile.user.

Using
"dump dmp all custom 200 post/chute_*.dmp id type type x y z ix iy iz vx vy vz fx fy fz omegax omegay omegaz radius"
I can successfully output .dmp files, but I cannot figure out how to successfully import those files into Paraview. From what I understand, .vtk files work fine with Paraview, but I get the same error as Minghao when I try that.

Can you provide any assistance or troubleshooting advice for this problem?

Thank you,

Jackson

Hi, Jackson

I finally found that if I just use CFDEM tutorial, no error will occur. The problem only happens when running LIGGGHTS separately.

How about your problem? Solved?

Hi,
are you using the lmp_auto executable? Because if you set USE_VTK to on in your Makefile.user the dump custom/vtk should be available.
