Deleting Regions

Submitted by estefan31 on Wed, 05/10/2017 - 07:16

Is there no way to delete regions? The documentation says that I should be able to delete a region with "region region_name delete" but when I use such a command I get an error saying I used an illegal region command.

I also am aware the documentation says deleting a region is not usually necessary, but in my case I need to delete a region and create a new one by the same name within a loop.

Min/Max of Global Data

Submitted by estefan31 on Tue, 05/09/2017 - 07:34

I'm trying to calculate the minimum height amongst different regions in my simulation. For each region, I use "compute region_height all reduce/region region_name max z" to calculate the highest particle. Now I'm trying to find the minimum of height 1, height 2, height 3, and so on. There doesn't seem to be a way I can simply call minimum(height1,height2,height3). Is there any built-in function or work-around that will allow me to find the minimum amongst different global scalars?

Multiple cores across periodic dimension crashes with multisphere

Submitted by estefan31 on Sat, 05/06/2017 - 03:22

I'm noticing that the code crashes pretty early in a simulation if I have multiple cores across a dimension having periodic boundary conditions. Is this a known issue and does anyone have an idea why this tends to happen? It seems that this only occurs with multisphere particles but not with regular spheres.

Shear Cell example fails in 3.6

Submitted by Jagirhussan on Fri, 05/05/2017 - 13:24

Greetings,
I tried to run the shear cell example on a 3.6.0 build. Unfortunately, I am getting the following error. I would be extremely grateful if you could help me out with this.

Import and parallelization of mesh cad2 containing 720 triangle(s) successful
ERROR on proc 0: assertion failed (../region_neighbor_list_I.h:156)

I have listed the echo output below.

Cheers

Understanding the fix nve and fix box/relax and energy minimizing

Submitted by lumblab227 on Wed, 05/03/2017 - 06:09

Hello everyone!

After some struggling with the primary tutorial, I am now trying to build up my own model. Currently, I am confused about two points and any relevant discussion with you will be very helping.

(i) fix nve + relax pressure = fix npt? Is it a correct understanding?

(ii) If I want to calm down of the whole particle assembly (e.g. the kinetic energy as low as possible), what kind of things I can do to achieve this while keep it under acceptable computation time?

KInd regards,
lumb
