dataExchangeModel_oneWayVTK command

Syntax

Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.

dataExchangeModel oneWayVTK;
oneWayVTKProps
{
    DEMts timeStep;
    relativePath "path";
    couplingFilename "filename";
    maxNumberOfParticles number;
};

  • timeStep = time step size of stored DEM data

  • path = path to the VTK data files relative do simulation directory

  • filename = filename of the VTK file series

  • number = maximum number of particles in DEM simulation

Examples

dataExchangeModel oneWayVTK;
oneWayVTKProps
{
    DEMts 0.0001;
    relativePath "../DEM/post";
    couplingFilename "vtk_out%4.4d.vtk";
    maxNumberOfParticles 30000;
}

Description

The data exchange model performs the data exchange between the DEM code and the CFD code. The oneWayVTK model is a model that can exchange particle properties from DEM to CFD based on previously stored VTK data.

Restrictions

None.
