output for a fix massflow/mesh

Submitted by msandli on Mon, 06/23/2014 - 20:45

I have a small simulation running with a fix massflow/mesh command which I assume is running correctly because it spits out numbers. However, I don't understand what the numbers mean, and the manual page only confuses me more. For example, it says the second vector component is a particle count, but the second number is my output is a small decimal.

Please help me understand this output, or tell what other fixes or computes I need to do to it. Please see my output data attached below.

The "second vector component" in the documentation refers to the vector computed by fix massflow/mesh, which you can access by "f_ID[2]".

You will have to set your thermo_style appropriately (or whatever you are using to output). Take a look at some of the examples to see how they do thermo output.

Also, for future reference, if you need help running a simulation, you should attach your input script and log file. That "test.ods" spreadsheet by itself is pretty much useless. :)

Hi,

the output is a global vector, consisting of total number and mass count, to be output e.g. via thermo style or fix print
