Where is a problem ? (newbie)

Submitted by PavolPalicka on Wed, 07/09/2014 - 09:08

Hi,
I am new in this field of investigation, so I am trying to do some modifications in LIGGGHTS examples. My goal is to use DEM and CFD for modelling of the Shaft furnace for raw material thermal treatment.

I will be thankful for any advice (or better, for correction of attached code)

I will be also very thankful if anybody send me more of yours own examples or advices how to effectively learn use this tools. (pavol.palicka@tuke.sk)

Best regards
Paul

Here is LIGGGHTS output of my existing problem:

dear Paul
i had the same error about reading mesh cad file and curvature. i geuss you can fix the error by remeshing the STL file again but with lower refining.
