Hi people,

I've pushed another patch today to improve the scalability of particle insertion in LIGGGHTS. You can find a description here:

https://github.com/ParticulateFlow/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/pull/1

It's yet another one of those features I had to hold back for months. Now I'm free to publicly release it. Better late than never I guess...

Cheers,
Richard

Sliding vs static Friction

Submitted by OrangensaftDE on Mon, 07/13/2015 - 11:29

Hi to all,

maybe some developer can me help:
For gran/hooke there is only one friction coefficient necessary. But in reality are 2 friction states possible: Sliding (or dynamic) friction and static friction. Is there any difference in Liggghts, or is this always the same? For some materials is in reality a big difference between static coefficient of friction and sliding cof....

Thx

overflow of particlecounter for rigid body

Submitted by RobertG on Mon, 06/29/2015 - 14:54

Hello,
I work with a large number of rigid bodies. Every time the number of rigid bodies oversteps approx. 65.000 I get the error:
No rigid bodies defined.
I guess it is because the nbody variable is defined as 16 bit integer. How complicate will it be if I define the nbody variabe as unsigned long at the fix_rigid.h file?
Will it work still fine?
Thanke you for your help.

Best regards
RoberG

Initialize a large PER-ATOM ARRAY define by FIX PROPERTY/ATOM

Submitted by leaso on Wed, 03/25/2015 - 23:22

Dear LIGGGHTS users and developers,

I have a simple question where I want to initialize a large(100-1000) PER-ATOM ARRAY define by FIX PROPERTY/ATOM.
Since LIGGGHTS expects the size to be defined through the input script, is there any easy way to define the size in the .cpp/.h file instead of:

fix LL all property/atom LL vector yes no no 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0....(100 times)
