Hi
I'd like to set up a simulation for a dense suspension (volfrac: 0.6). To reduce the complexity of the model I'm trying to include the fluid phase with "pair_style lubricate". This pair style is part of the colloid package. And it seems to me, that this package was not installed when I installed LIGGGHTS. Playing around to with the atom_style command I found out that the following atom_styles are missing:
- colloid
- dipole
- ellipsoid
- peri
and my guess is that these packages are not installed.
Is that right? What have I to do to install these packages?
Cheers
Claudio

That's correct. I recommend to have a look at the manual for instructions how to compile with additional packages

Conflict with atom_style attribute
Dear Christoph
I compiled (without any errors) the colloid-package which is necessary for pair_style lubricate. In the input-script I put "atom_style hybrid colloid granular" and "pair_style hybrid /overlay gran/hooke/history 1 0 lubricate 100 1 1 1 0 ${cutinner} ${cutoff} 0 18283" to set up the hybrid simulation.
When I start the solver I get the error message "ERROR: Pair lubricate cannot be used with atom attributes diameter or rmass".
For granular I have to define the density and the diameter and for colloid I have to set mass and shape. When I define both I get the error message printed above and when I omit mass or shape I get other error messages.
What I have to change to set up this hybrid simulation?
Thanks for help
Claudio

The murder is out
Hi all
After comb through the Manual, some Papers and finally the source code from pair_lubricate.h and pari_lubricate.cpp I found out that I only had to comment the error message out in the "init specific to this pair style" section.
And now it runs.
I hope this hint helps to others which like to set up hybrid simulations.
See you soon

How to include lubricate
Dear Claudio
I am trying to run a simulation considering 'lubricate',but I false to find out how can I install 'colloid package' although I have checked the manual many times.It seems the optional package can't install now. Could you tell me about how did you install the colloid package then.
Thanks you very much.
