I see the new release has an additional flag that applies to the rolling friction models, the "torsionTorque" flag. I'm having trouble trying to visualize what the "normal torsion" actually is. Could you provide a more in-depth explanation (pictures are helpful!) or provide an article that explains it?

Hi everyone

what are different shapes available other than sphere and cluster of sphere?
how can we define in liggghts?
if it is possible to create a quadric surface or superquadric surface in public version?,if possible please tell the command...

Hello,

I wondered if anyone can give me the instructions to install the latest version of LIGGGHTS on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS?

Kind regards,

Andrew

How do you use the fflag and tflag options in fix particletemplate/multisphere? I'm getting an "unknown keyword" error when I use it as follows:

fix particle_template all particletemplate/multisphere 608519 atom_type 1 density constant 1 nspheres 1000 ntry 100000 spheres file template_file.multisphere scale 1.0 type 1 mass 10 inertia_tensor 100 0. 0. 100 0. 100 use_volume fflag off on on tflag on off off

hi every one

i have a clarification in walls
how to assign wall property like density,friction etc....
some detail about fix wall/gran command

hello everyone
I met a problem when trying to add package molecule, a similar thread was post last year but with no answers, as below:

i am very new to this software and also very new in the field of particle simulation. I am planing to do the Nanoindentation simulation through LIGGGHTS. Therefore i need to create a bond model, which is only possible through the MOLECULE package.

I have tried to install this package but it is showing some error. I have tried to do it in two steps, as mentioned in LIGGGHTS online document.

I noticed that atom_style bond/gran cant be recognized. The online documentation says "Note that bond/gran is an experimental code which is may not be available in your release of LIGGGHTS. An example for the sytnax is given below". I am wondering when it will be available to the public version user. Is this new atom_style for membrane boundary?

Hi every one

I have small clarification in liggghts compute command
why it is used?
what are the outcome of using this command?
where are the results?

please explain me about this command in briefly

I am quite confused why I cannot put in pxx pyy pzz etc. as the keywords to obtain the internal stress state of the periodic cell? I tried other keywords and finally find the the pxx pyy pzz are not included in the source code (am I right?). I am wondering why it is not included in the source code as it is basic and important key values.

LAMMPS are for particle size in atomic range (angstrom). What is the minimum size of particle that can be inserted in LIGGGHTS? Most of the tutorials takes millimetre sized particles. Can we take nano to sub micron size of particles in LIGGGHTS?
