Hallo everyone,

is there a way to dump the deformation of a sphere when applying the multicontact/halfspace? And then show it in paraview?

best regards
Johannes

Hello,

I'm getting the following error when I try to restart a simulation where I used a distribution of sphere sizes:

ERROR: All pair coeffs are not set (../pair.cpp:231)

Since I cannot find the cause of the problem, I would attach below the input script hoping that someone can help me.

Hey all,

I want to add electrostatic force to my simulation. Does someone have the experience to do this? How can I define electrostatic force in LIGGGHTS?

Is it possible?

I've been reading the code and LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC uses a uniform domain decomposition, on the other hand there are some pieces of code showing it could, eventually, support this kind of domain decomposition (for instance, the Comm class has a public attribute called uniform and the comments make one think it's for non-uniform domains).

Greetings,
Miguel.

Hello,

I am working with LIGGGHTS 3.5.0 and I modified my dump files so I get a new line in the header with the timestep of my simulation (see below). It is easier for my postprocessing where a Python program comes and reads directly my timestep.

I want to generate single particle with large radius like a tennis ball. I am trying with given command of particle distribution but not getting success.
Actually I have task to impact a large size particle into the pool of smaller particles (big particle size is more than 20mm and smaller particles have size around 2mm).

Is this okay if instead single particle I use cad stl file of sphere? I tried this also but as stl(sphere) falls domain boundary stretches , I can not use fixed boundary as in this case particles get lost.

Please tell me how do I proceed?

I am having difficulties trying to simulate biaxial rotation of an imported mesh.

I am looking the simulate the motion which occurs during rotational moulding where the mould (mesh in this case) rotates around two of its axis.
The current rotation commands within LIGGGHTS that I've found allows rotation to be set to the coordinate system in space but not to the mesh itself, which is where my issue lies.

Hi all,

I am new to this software. I am hoping to create a 100mm*100mm*100mm cube box with spheres inside the box and then applying confining pressure on all sides.

I have tried to import a mesh created from AutoCad (using other computer and copy back to my own computer) using the fix mesh/surface/stress/servo.
However, some errors are happened and the script is terminated.

Can anyone help with this? I have attached with my script. Many thanks.

Hi guys,

I want to add new pair style from the LAMMPS to the LIGGHTS.

So, I just copied .cpp and .h file to the src folder in LIGGHTS.

Then what should I do to recompile the LIGGGHTS?

I need specific description for recompiling. (I'm using LINUX)

Please let me know how to recompile the LIGGGHTS.

Hi All,

I am running a simple test case by shooting a single particle on an impact plate using different impact angles, velocities and mass.
At all the dependencies of the velocities and the mass are like expected. I just struggle with the results of varying impact angle, because in my case it doensn´t fit with the theoretical results i would expect by finnie. I attached a picture of the results of the simulation for the wear after impact and the curve i would expect for varying impact angles.
