Hi,
I am new to DEM and I have never used LIGGGHTS. Before I get started with the software, I was wondering if LIGGGHTS can simulate the packing of particles of various aspect ratio. If so, is there any tutorial on this type of simulation? My end goal is to predict packing porosity for a given particle size distribution of different aspect ratio. Please let me know if you have done something similar in the past. I would appreciate any input.
Thanks

Yes, this should be possible.
Yes, this should be possible. You will need to model the non-spherical particles using the multi-sphere method, which is available in the latest public version of LIGGGHTS.
