LIGGGHTS® - User Forum

Hi there,

I am getting a "WARNING: One or more atoms are time integrated more than once" which I believe I have tracked down to two lines:

fix fu all move variable NULL NULL NULL NULL v_Vy NULL units box
fix gravity all gravity 9.81 0 -1 0

i.e., I am doing a gravity and also a forcing via a variable Vy. My results are looking a bit odd, so I am wondering if I should instead incorporate the gravity into the fix move? i.e. making the value "v_Vy - 9.81*time" instead of "v_Vy"?

Or is it fine to have this warning?

Dear all,

I come back to this topic again. I had time last week to make some test cases for multisphere.
I upload one of them.

LIGGGHTS360 was used for this simulation. The multisphere was only composed with two particles.

what I did was:
1. make a packing in a region with a stepped wall, saved as a restart file.
2. restart the case from the saved restart file and simulated it further using a moving wall.

Hi,
I have a problem with multisphere particles simulation.
when i use same case for simple spherical particles mixing, my results are good but when i used multisphere particles ( 2 or more sphere clumped together to form particle) then particles becomes cohesive and no mixing occurs between particles. i created multisphere particles according to code given in following link

Hi there,

I'm new to LIGGGHTS but I have been trying to use buoyancy and am getting odd results. I have read the documentation of 'fix buoyancy' and I am not sure about why dim level must be positive.

Documentation:
dim value = x or y or z
x, y, z = define the water level as x=const, y=const, z=const plane
level value = lev
lev = water level in length units, along the axis defined by dim

Hi,
I'm trying to simulate the heat generation inside the particles due to a nuclear reaction.
Is there a command to set a constant heat generation to the particles?

thanks

Dear LIGGGHTS users and its creators,
I have just started using LIGGGHTS for DEM Simulations. I have been using LAMMPS for around 2 years now for the same. I have seen that LIGGGHTS takes constant coefficient of restitution as input even while we use Hertzian model. I don't see the point of providing the coefficient of restitution as input when I am providing the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio. Moreover, the coefficient of restitution along with collision time is a function of velocity and making coefficient of restitution doesn't make much sense.

I have issues concerning setting youngs modulus to a realistic value like 10 GPa. This requires insanely small timesteps.

In the documentatiom and in every thread on this question people say that it should not be bigger that 5e6 for si units or 5e5 for cgs.

But how would I go about modeling a simulation of a material that has a youngs modulus with magnitudes several times higher than 5e6 for the simulation?

Hello

I'm trying to perform the simulation of a chute, and I've been experiencing difficulties ... some I can solve by analyzing the forum, others I can not. My in.conveyor that I am using:

https://paste.ubuntu.com/25019462/

My problem is in section "PARTICLE INSERTION"; When I try to run with 'insert/stream' the Liggghts show me the erro:

Hi,

I am trying to run a simulation in Liggghts... when I run it by mpirun (with 6 threads) each processor use about much memory. The memory that have been used increased by time.

How could I reduce memory usage?

Any can help me with this: ''ERROR on proc 0: assertion failed''
