Hi
## version 3.3.0
I am running this code, which inserts two layers made of two sets of random generated packings.
Since I need to compress the volume in order to reach a relatively high volume fraction (higher than 0.8), I apply an isotropic compression to the box, reducing its final dimension.
The problem I have is that the potential energy of the system during compression and relax, is always zero, while the kinetic energy has quite reasonable values.
These are the related commands I have used:

http://www.cfdem.com/media/DEM/docu/compute_pe_atom.html
Could anyone have a look and suggest me what could be wrong in my code?
Hereby I attach the code: I have tried to relax the packing for different times so I built different simulations.
I suggest to start from the file named
Local_Tension_Swelling_Prova_duemuri_relax50000
Greetings,
Luca

Hi Luca,
You can find this post : http://www.cfdem.com/forums/compute-pe
The documentation should include this "restriction"...
A handy "work-around" is to compute the average potential elastic energy with, for example, the identation and the rigidity.
Cheers

Hi,
Hi,
thanks for the reminder! I'll put this on my list of doc updates for the next release!
Best wishes
