Changing particles sizes in the restart file

Submitted by cs222 on Tue, 09/26/2017 - 17:57

Hi,
I am using liggghts data for a macro-scale simulation, where there is aggregation happening leading to increase in the size of the particles. I want to restart the simulations from the previous state but with the new particle sizes. Is there a way to achieve that. Merely changing the sizes in the new infile leads to an insertion error.

Thank you for your help!

mixing is not rightly taking place between two different size particle

aoa

particle are not mixing like discrete . they move like chunk and do not mix properly ... i m uploading my input file plz help me because i have to submit my work this week. i m uploading a pics and code

Using variable with fix ave/spatial

Submitted by vinaym on Mon, 09/25/2017 - 16:07

Hello,

I want to determine average of velocity square < (Vx^2) > and later average it in a band at different heights in the domain.
I tried to do so in the following way using variable and fix ave/spatial command.

variable gvx equal vx*vx
variable gvy equal vy*vy
variable gvz equal vz*vz
fix gvel all ave/spatial 1 1000 1000 z lower 0.01 v_gvx v_gvy v_gvz file meanv.txt

Fix insert/pack

Submitted by z3490628 on Mon, 09/25/2017 - 10:24

Hi all,

I have seen the LIGGGHTS v3.x doc about the command 'fix insert/pack'.

For the restriction, it says "The overlapcheck = ‘yes’ option performs an inherently serial operation and will thus not scale well in parallel. For this reason, if you want to generate large systems, you are advised to turn overlapcheck off and let the packing relax afterwards to generate a valid packing.".

What exactly I have to do to let the packing relax afterwards? Thanks.

Regards,
Josh

Set and update quaternions to multisphere

Submitted by keepfit on Wed, 09/20/2017 - 09:09

In Liggghts, can we set an initial quaternion and update it for a multisphere particle, or hybrid sphere molecule clump?
Same as asphere, can we also output the cumulative quaternion (compare to quaternion at time = 0) of each clump/multisphere?
Such that we can not only track the positions (center of mass) but also the degree of rotation of all clumps.

Greetings,
David

Error reading bonds

Submitted by rob1 on Tue, 09/19/2017 - 10:53

Good morning,

I am using a hybrid granular bond/gran model and reading the structure with read_data.
How to solve the error "Incorrect atom format in data file"? The file structure I have is below.

Thank you,
rob1
