Question about rigid bodies

Submitted by zamir on Thu, 06/27/2013 - 21:40

Hello all,

I want to simulate a large number of rigid bodies in a granular simulation. Currently I am using fix rigid, which does not scale very well in parallel. Would I get an appreciable speed up if I use POEMS to handle the rigid bodies? Additionally, I was thinking about using very stiff lj/coul bonds to simulate the rigid bodies, would this increase my speed in parallel?

Thank you!
