Hello everybody,

I have decided to switch from si to nano units because I am working with nanoparticles. From the beginning I had the feeling that the simulations are way slower in nano units than in si units. Now I have made the test and ran equal simulations.
I am sorry that I cannot give a complete example here, because I had to make some modifications in the source code. Here a short case scenario:

Dear all

I would like to use this tool for investigation of the sintering process of polymer particles (SLS). I have setup up my initial powder bed and I am also able to heat up the particles by setting a heatsource that I move along the surface (the laser spot). The next step will be to take into account the heat of fusion. I can not see any obvious way to implement this.

Are there anyone that have worked on anything similar, or who have an idea on how to model this. Should I move into the coupling with CFD, and if yes how?

Best regards
Rasmus

Hallo Liggghts experts,

i am trying to simulate Nanoindentation and for such kind of simulation i need to use bond model. As i m very new in this field, i m facing lot of difficulty to start with scratch. I was wondering if any one can provide me an example script of bond model. That will be a great help for me.

Thanks for your support.

Thanking You
Braj

Hello,

I am getting the following error when I try to define a third particle in addition to the first two particles already being defined. The same error also occurs when I try to insert an if-then statement. Please help.

How can I get access to LIGGGHTS-PREMIUM?

I tried to contact the commercial support team a few times over the recent months, but got no response.

I am a R&D scientist in United States.

Hallo LIGGGHTS Experts,

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.

Step 1: type make yes-molecule (from src directory)
Terminal gave back the following statement:

I obtained LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC from GitHub, where the latest commit is

When I did "make openmpi", the compilation failed with the following error message:

Hello every one,

Could some one please tell me which source code and function are used to detect the contact between the particles and the mesh wall.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I am a new liggghts user. I am having challenges with importing Solidworks generated mesh into liggghts. I have done some tutorials using the supplied mesh and even changed the input file using the supplied mesh and everything was running fine. Now when i create my own mesh in solidworks, it is not working. I generate my mesh as follows:
1. Draw solid model in solidworks
2. Save the model as stl
3. Import the stl file into liggghts

My other question is how do I know if my mesh is within the defined computational domain in liggghts.
