LIGGGHTS® - User Forum

Hello. I want to use LIGGGHTS and later CFDEMcoupling to simulate a coaxial rheometer which in theory is a hollow cylinder with a rotating inner wall.
My question: How do I create this geometry in LIGGGHTS without importing a mesh file?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to adapt the example case "examples\LIGGGHTS\Tutorials_public\movingMeshGran" so that it could compute the forces and momentum on the bucket moved on the particules.

I tried :

compute force_on_particles all reduce sum fx fy fz
fix 20 all ave/time 100 1 100 c_force_on_particles[1] c_force_on_particles[2] c_force_on_particles[3] file force_particles.txt


but I guess the force are not particulary applied on the bucket

Hello,

Hello everyone,

label loop_growth

run ${grow_every2}

variable curr_dia2 equal ${start_dia2}+step*${grow_rate_dia2}
variable new_z1 equal ${z1}+(${curr_dia2}-${start_dia2})/2
change_box all z final 0.0 ${new_z1} units box

if "${curr_dia2} > ${end_dia2}" then
"jump SELF done_growth"
else
"jump SELF loop_growth"
endif

label done_growth

Hallo,
I want to use custom/vtk to write my results, however I get the error: "invalid dump style".
How can this issue be resolved?

Hello,
I am new to the field of simulation with LIGGGHTS. I have already done some tutorials and could already successfully import STL files here. I have a problem when importing a very large and complex geometry of a casting (many curves and different diameters).

Hi everyone,

I made a small Windows GUI tool that converts dump files from LIGGGHTS/CFDEM into VTK files you can open directly in ParaView. It’s called D2V (dump→VTK). Source and binaries are here:
https://github.com/opendemjapan/D2V-dump2vtk

What it does

Hi
I am new user if LIGGGHTS and I am trying to do simulation but I am getting error. I am using the given error

Hello, I’m a graduate student who has just started working with LIGGGHTS.

I am a new user and while trying to clone the LPP git it asked for my github user credentials- those failed and so I cannot get this git. I tried searching on the project page and i cannot find this repository? Am I missing something or has there been a change/update that does not require this git. The documentation emphasis its significance. Any advice
