Problem with refix wall/gran

Submitted by digi772 on Wed, 04/19/2017 - 17:39

Hi everybody,

currently i am trying to simulate a bucket elevator. I am interested in the forces on the buckets.
To speed up the simulation i import the buckets as soon as they are needed. Therefore I have to unfix and refix the meshes with the wall/gran fix.

The force on the buckets are written to a file with the ave/time fix.
If I take a carefull look at the results, I can find a jump in the forces every time i unfix and refix the wall/gran command.

LIGGGHTS for modelling of Fines/Powders

Submitted by nicolas.aalderete on Wed, 04/12/2017 - 21:35

Hello everyone,

I am looking for opinions or insights on the capabilities of LIGGGHTS to model fine particles/powders. Has anyone developed or worked with models involving the phenomena (cohesion, van der waals, etc) that arises from considering fine particles?

Any comments on this topic will be of help since I am no expert on the subject.

Thanks,
Eng. Nicolas Alderete
