Dumping Ellipsoid Data

Submitted by cTop89 on Wed, 04/16/2014 - 22:19

I've built LIGGGHTS with the ASPHERE package and was able to generate an ellipsoid particle, but I'm struggling to find how to use a dump command to output data like the shape diameters and the quaternion to define orientation. I'm using "atom_style hybird granular ellipsoid"

Any help anyone could provide would be appreciated, thank you.

You may use compute property/atom with the attributes shapex, shapey, shapez, quatw, quati, quatj, quatk and then use the compute id in the dump custom command e.g.

compute asph all property/atom shapex shapey shapez quatw quati quatj quatk
dump dmp all custom 200 post/dump*.properties id type c_asph[1] c_asph[2] c_asph[3] c_asph[4] c_asph[5] c_asph[6] c_asph[7]

Thanks! This is just what I was looking for.
