Hi,
I have imported rectangular mesh wall vertically in simulation box and now want to find total pressure experted by the particles. To do this, i have made mesh with no triangles, just one triangle of whole CAD. I don't want to measure pressure as function of height but total pressure at a time. Is this right way of doing?

Thanks,
Ram

The total force on the mesh can be evaluated independent of the # of triangles via the output of the fix mesh/gran/stressanalysis command

Hi,
This would be total force on wall. Can I convert it into pressure like : f/area of mesh? right?
Thanks...
