Hi,

While inserting 2 particles with different diameters in a container, the particles distribution based on number was not proper. I would like to know how can one change the particle distribution value in number for better insertion.

Hi

I am trying to insert 45000 particles in a model. But while running the program for 1000 timestep, it was found that the whole particles get inserted in the first timestep itself. How should I change the program to get to deposit equal particles in equal timesteps ? Where could I have made an error?
I am attaching my input deck along with the model and insertion face.

Hi

Is there a way to find the normal vector to the wall at the point of contact(particle-wall contact) ?

Thank You.

Hi all,
I going to insert very high particles in bed of channel. But inserting of particles in a large region is very time consuming. Can I use inserted particle in small region for fill a larger region? how do I expand these particles to the total region?

Thanks

Hi everyone,
I am now working on the simulation of Janssen effect with Liggghts. The command I used in the input script is
"stress/atom" , no keywords is attached after this command. (The keywords attached can be ke,pair, bond,angle, dihedral, improper, kspace, fix, or virial ).
A packing is simulated in a cylinder with 20 0000 granules.

My liggghts always works, but today when I changed Young's modulus from 5e6 to 20e9（I am using Hertz model to simualte sand particles）. It stays at step one and there is no error message. I waited a long time, it;s still at step one. Can anybody guide me ?Appreciate it!!

Thanks

Hey guys,

I try to do the hopper tutorial. Therefore I take following code :

# Import mesh from cad:
fix cad1 all mesh/surface file meshes/hopper.stl type 2 scale 0.001
# Use the imported mesh as granular wall
fix geometry all wall/gran/hertz/history mesh n_meshes 1 meshes cad1
# Create stopper for funnel
fix stopper all wall/gran/hertz/history primitive type 2 zplane0.0
# Define the physics
pair_style gran/hertz/history
pair_coeff * *


Dear LIGGGHTSers,

What is the reference for the Hooke/hysteresis model implemented in the NORMAL_MODEL_HOOKE_HYSTERESIS.h? i cannot find it in the documentation. Is it the Linear Elastic-palstic Ahhesive model (Luding 2008)? Thank you.
Best regards,
Zyan,

Hi,

I am trying to use IF command and I getting this error "ERROR: Unknown command: { (../input.cpp:293) "
if "${typ1atoms} == 0.0" then { variable velcity1 equal 0.0 }

Can anyone please help me?

Thank you.

Is it possible to have access to the STL file used in LIGGGHTS_Tutorial.pdf, I mean STL files of Shear Cell or other examples?

Thanks
