is it a bug of compute wall/gran/local

Submitted by xiuhan on Mon, 11/21/2016 - 18:03

So in a script I read in the restart file, then I defined a compute wall/gran/local. But there is error said compute wall/gran/local should be defined before the first run, which means it should be defined before the read_restart. Okay, I moved compute wall/gran/local to before the read_restart. But there is error again, said fix wall/gran is not defined yet. Okay, so I move fix wall/gran part to before the compute wall/gran/local, which is also before the read_restart. But there is error again, said the wall cannot be defined before the domain box is defined.

assign gravity to region

Submitted by jsams on Thu, 11/17/2016 - 23:42

I would like to study the particle dynamics of confined flow at a depth where the stress field is fully developed, i.e. the pressure is constant and independent of the vertical position. In order to limit the total number of particles in the simulation, I was wondering if it is possible in LIGGGHTS to define a region in which a higher gravity value can be assigned?
Also, if you can think of another way to achieve this I would be happy to hear your thought.

Neighbor time increases massively for moving walls in nano units (compared to si)

Submitted by VBaric on Tue, 11/15/2016 - 10:03

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:

Simulation of sintering process/melting of particles

Submitted by Termo on Mon, 11/14/2016 - 21:22

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

Bond Model liggghts

Submitted by bprasad on Thu, 11/10/2016 - 10:40

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

Installation of Pacakage

Submitted by bprasad on Sat, 11/05/2016 - 16:17

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:
