Shrink-wrap boundaries

Submitted by tjleps on Tue, 01/16/2018 - 22:45

I'm having trouble implementing shrink wrap boundaries. I keep getting an "illegal simulation box" when I use s boundaries, but it works for m, p, and f boundaries. Does anybody have any idea what's going wrong? Here is my script:

atom_style hybrid granular dipole
boundary f f f
newton off
atom_modify sort 100 0.6

communicate single vel yes
units si
processors 1 4 1

region reg block -1.5 2 -.2 .2 0 2 units box
create_box 1 reg
neighbor 0.005 bin
neigh_modify delay 0

hard_particles no

Hello,

I am trying to make reflective walls similar to the fix wall/reflect command (which, for some reason, is no longer available in the current versions of LIGGGHTS). The reason for this is I have the simulation spheres passing directly through rapidly moving walls, rather than impacting them. In order to try to solve this, I have tried using higher Young's moduli (Y= 1e10 Pa), reducing the timestep (once to .0000000005 sec, which still caused wall penetration), none of which worked. My question is

Collision detection among particles with different sizes

Submitted by limone on Fri, 01/12/2018 - 18:17

Dear All,

I have a poly-dispersed system (particles with 44 sizes) and I would like to create an output for the collisions between the particles, a list of collisions (for all the collisions) like:

id particle-i | id particle-j | time-step when the collision occurs

To me, what is important is to know the id of the colliding particles. In such a way I can link the id to the radius of the colliding particles and "make statistics" on the "collisions per each particle size".

My input file (in.liggghts_init) is like this one:

Minimum particle size in LIGGGHTS

Submitted by bilalelkassem on Tue, 01/09/2018 - 11:27

Hello,
I want to simulate particle flow i.e. Angle of Repose.
I want to used particle size between 50 and 150 µm but unfortunately it is not working. The particles are spreading outside the container.

Particle greater than 400 µm is only working.
I am using SI units in the code. i.e. 0.0004 (400 µm)

Could you please help me to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Bilal

ERROR in running LIGGGHTS

Submitted by shra1kumar on Thu, 01/04/2018 - 21:00

Hi all,

I am trying to run a LIGGGHTS code on a PC. The compiler is able to almost go through all the steps except the last dump and run commands. I am encountering below error. Can anybody explain what's the exact problem ? I tried searching in forum, but haven't found my luck.

Thanks in advance.

properties of particles within a data file using the read_data command

Submitted by carlos villavel... on Wed, 01/03/2018 - 14:02

Hello

I'm using the following lines to read the coordinates and some properties of different particles.

Atoms # Atom-ID, Atom-type, Diameter, density, x, y, z

1 1 0.025 2500 0. 0. 0.20
2 2 0.005 2500 0. 0. 0.215
3 2 0.01 2500 0.0125 0. 0.225
4 2 0.01 2500 -0.0125 0. 0.225

Although it works well, I don't know how the program knows the order of the properties. ??? Is there a section on the documentation to see the order of the properties?

Thanks

Project on hoppers

Submitted by Fabeeha on Sat, 12/30/2017 - 15:03

Hello everyone,
I'am a beginner in this filed, I need to select a research topic for my one year MS research project on hoppers using DEM on LIGGGHTS. Can anyone help me with some idea to get a start with my research work. Or kindly suggest me some latest research papers which may have some future recommendations regarding DEM studies on hoppers.

Regards: Fabeeha
