Dear All, I've running binflow simulation available at LIGGGHTS Tutorial and couldn't understand the meaning of insert_every option of insert/rate/region fix.

I have to run a few simulations quite similar to this one implemented in the binflow example, and then went through the input file reviewing the documentation of each command used (by the way, this and other examples are very illustrative, congratulations).

This is the command I have in the input file:

Has the "info" command been removed? I keep getting errors saying unknown command whenever I try to call this, even when I just use the examples for this command shown in the documentation.

Well, this is a basic test.
But, it does not work.
Here is the in file:

Hi all,

I have some problems when trying to set a following symbolic link for LIGGGHTS as mentioned in the installation guideline. After running the "make fedora" command, I got "Obj_fedora" as a return in the /Home/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/src directory instead of "lmp_fedora. Can anyone help me with this? Appreciated for your help.

Hi

I am facing a challeng in visualising my simulation results properly in Paraview. I am only seing point particles instead of the full spherical shapes. As such all particles sizes visually look the same since they are points. May someone assist on how i can visualise the particles such that they are not points.

Thanks

I am trying to simulate a direct shear test that has 12 mesh walls each with 2 triangles. The upper and lower walls are used to compact the specimen, so their position and velocity change. I have two fix mesh/surface/stress/servo commands and ten fix mesh/surface/stress commands. I am trying to use a write_restart command after the compaction stage so I can restart more simulations without having to repeat the compaction process. How do I save the particle configuration as well as the mesh configuration and then load both of them into a new simulation?

hallo everyone,

Can anyone explain to me, why Fix heat/gran/conduction is maybe not valid for pair style hybrid/overlay?

"Fix heat/gran/conduction implementation may not be valid for pair style hybrid/overlay"

Best wishes

Hi,
Imagine a 3D particulate channel flow with periodic boundaries along the depth. So the "2D" parabolic velocity profile can be imposed at inlet of channel. The particles are continously inserted at a small region near the inlet.
How can I impose the parabolic profile on the particles? Because with the fix insert commands i can only impose a uniform velocity to all particles. Can I do this by just some additions to the input script, or do I really need to modify the fix insert (say insert/rate/region) code? I would really appreciate any suggestions.

Hi,

I am solving a system which is highly static and only has very low velocity fluctuations. So I end up with very low velocities and with the default precision the simulation ends up at zero kinetic energy and shows NaN as kinetic energy. How is it possible to increase the precision of the solver?

Thanks

Hi friends,
every time when i run script, i got following error;
Reading STL file 'meshes/impe.stl'
Setting up run ...
ERROR: Mesh (id cad2): Mesh elements have been lost / left the domain. Please use 'boundary m m m' or scale/translate/rotate the mesh or change its dynamics (/build/liggghts-QCz4in/liggghts-3.3.1+repack1/src/multi_node_mesh_parallel_I.h:567)

Please help me to resolve this error,

Thanks
