LIGGGHTS® - User Forum

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

Hello!

Hello everyone,

I wanted to have the coordination number in my simulation and used the following codes in my simulation:

compute CN all coord/gran
dump cn all local/gran/vtk 100 post/coordnumber*.vtk CN

But it didn't work. Can you see any problem with these 2 lines?
Thanks

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

Hi Friends,

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,

Hi everyone,

I want to use the Set command with multi-sphere simulation but it gives following error.
set region factory property/atom VMoistureMass 7.065e-6

ERROR: Set command may not be used together with fix multisphere (../set.cpp:112)

please help me how to add moisture in case of multisphere instead of using set command.

thanks in advance

This is a notice for people trying to get LIGGGHTS working on current mac os systems.

The Xcode8 command line tools GCC compiler will not successfully compile the LIGGGHTS source code with the couple most current versions of MPI. It's possible that using older revisions of MPI will work, I haven't attempted that. What will work is installing a more recent version of GCC. I stepped through this guide to making GCC on mac OS:

Hi All,

I want to have time variation of particle through its history. Let's say there are 1000 particle and I have to concentrate on single particle that means variation of its properties vs time. I tried to search in LIGGGHTS commands but do not find. I am using paraview for post processing.

With regards,

Hey,

I was wondering how i can use the last dump file of a simulation as an initial state for another simulation. Which commands do i need for the import and the rerun of them?

Thanks
