Disable position integration for fixed bed heat transfer simulation

Submitted by JoG on Wed, 10/18/2017 - 10:17

Hello,

I am modifing the heat transfer model and would like to test it in a fixed particle arrangement. I can simulate this as usual, but therefore the timestep has to be quite small. I wonder if I could deactivate the particle motion, so that just the heat transfer is solved? Then I could choose a way bigger timestep.

I tried to set pair style to none, but this is not possible since the heat transfer fix requires a pair style. And if I remove the integration fix, the temperature is also not calculated.

shape of the simulation box

Submitted by sthgggil on Wed, 10/18/2017 - 08:19

hello i have question regarding to the shape of the simulation box

as far as i know the simulation box can be defined with

"create_box N reg" command with previously defined geometric domain

is it possible to define a simulation box with mesh/tet region domain or combination of block and cylinder shapes?

thanks.

Simulation randomly stopping without error

Submitted by Misterblobby on Tue, 10/17/2017 - 03:07

Hi,

Has anyone experienced problems with simulations stopping in what appears to be random points, without returning any errors? To make things more confusing, the point it stops at is not repeatable. All I am using is a modified version of the conveyor tutorial fine included with LIGGGHTS. I am currently using 3.7.0, but had a similar problem with 3.3.0. The issue with 3.3.0 seemed to appear just after upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04, but the current 3.7.0 has been recompiled after upgrading.

Understanding implemented max cut off criteria in liquid bridge models

Submitted by AliBlues on Mon, 10/16/2017 - 12:50

Hi,
I have some questions regarding the implementation of the “cohesion_model_easo_capillary_viscous.h” (or for that matter washino) which I would really appreciate your reply to help me understand the algorithm and to properly apply the code. My main questions are with regards to the criteria to evaluate the three possible cases of no-bridge, active, breakage of the liquid bridge force.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Difference between f_abc and ${abc}

Submitted by Zheng Hu on Sat, 10/14/2017 - 23:54

Dear all,

I am a little confused about the usage of the variable type of f_a and ${a}. To give an example, when I use "fix a all mesh/serface/stress/servo ...", I want to obtain the displacement of the servo wall, thus I use "variable loct euqal f_a[9]-0.1" where 0.1 is the original of the servo stl wall. When I want to applied this variable in another command (e.g. fix b all mesh/surface/stress ... move 0. 0. ${loct}), the ERROR message shows: invalid fix ID in variable formula.
