Simulation Restart Question

Submitted by guanzhou1106 on Mon, 08/23/2021 - 04:24

Hi All,

This is Marshall. I am running a CFDEM case with particles passing through a screen to test the efficiency of particle blocking. However, the simulation needs the particles to pack before passing through the screen to get a better result. Building a wall right above the screen can block all particles and make the pack. After that, remove the wall and let the particles fall, then it can meet all the requirements

To achieve what I want, I have tried to use multiple run commands to restart the simulation, but in a single in.liggghts_run file, the created mesh file cannot be removed during the simulation. Is there any way I can create a mesh file first, using it in the simulation, and then remove it?

I know there are other ways to restart the simulation, but every one of them still needs to remove the mesh file that was created before. How can I remove them using one single in.liggghts_run file?

Looking for your kind reply! Thank you!

Best,
Marshall
