Hello LIGGGHTS forum,
I am confused regarding region bc coordintes.
Could you please explain me about the coordinates which are used as 0.0, 0.0. 0.15, 0.05, 0.12 ?
In this command :
region bc1 cylinder z 0.0 0.0 0.012 0.01 0.05 units box
I know this is a silly question. I went through the LIGGGHTS tutorial but still couldn't make my self clear?.
Thank you

The manual is your friend
https://www.cfdem.com/media/DEM/docu/region.html
In your example, the cylinder region has its axis aligned along the z-axis, hence the numbers correspond to
x-coordinate of axis, y-coordinate of axis, cylinder radius, bottom z-coordinate of cylinder, top z-coordinate of cylinder
For an 'x-cylinder' it would be
y-coordinate of axis, z-coordinate of axis, cylinder radius, bottom x-coordinate of cylinder, top x-coordinate of cylinder
For a 'y-cylinder' it would be
x-coordinate of axis, z-coordinate of axis, cylinder radius, bottom y-coordinate of cylinder, top y-coordinate of cylinder
