I need to make one thing clear about particle insertion in rotating drum.

I have two different simulations with mixed particles.

Simulation one: particles radius 0.04 and radius 0.035

Simulation two : particles radius 0.04 and radius 0.025

I am inserting particles volume wise like 20 % 0.04 and 80 % another one in both simulations.

I realized that number of inserted particles with 0.04 in simulation one is more than number of inserted particles with 0.04 in simulation two (huge difference).

Hi

I want to explicitly measure the mass of two different particles going through a face.

Hello,

We are a very small french research team. And we plane to study the processus of additive manufacturing. The first step is to model the flow of particles on the system. We encounter a few difficulties to understand the behaviour of the software, the underlying physics and we would like to found a easy step by step tutorial and caracteristics examples.

Could you give us some advices to find such sort of documentations and code examples?

Thanks so much,

Hello

Hello community!

I am currently working on a test-case script for my Master Thesis. After a while, I started to get along well with case inputs and setups, and that's not a big deal.

At the moment, my biggest challenge is the calculation of the Lacey Index and the approach to calculation. The principle of calculating the mixing index is clear, how to approach the problem and how to start post-processing is quite difficult for me.

Hello,

I am doing rotating drums simulation. For my research, i don't need to include particles filling position. What I need is data from particles adjustment to end.

I know It can be done in preprocessing after simulation however repeated particles id makes is little bit complex. Further, manual process can loose particles information.

I am wondering whether there is such steps in liggghts so that I could ignore particles filling positions in dump file.

Thank you

Hi,

I am running screw-conveyor LIGGGHTS simulations on our University cluster and everything was fine the first week. But now I am running into this error (shown below and attached). The log file has no errors and the same input file runs fine in another Linux system. Can anyone help me figure out what the issue is? Thank you in Advance.

Hello folks,
I am trying to simulate linear and rotational motion of roller through code but not getting these motion together, The code that I have run is the following :

######

fix Moveroller all move/mesh mesh roller rotate origin -0.2 0. 0.118 axis 0. 1. 0. period 0.966645 #second
fix MoveRoller all move/mesh mesh roller linear 0.65 0.0 0.0 #cm/s
run 200000
unfix MoveRoller

Hello everyone,

Hi Guys

I am from South Africa, with our power issues (load shedding) I am unable to perform my required analysis on LIGGGHTS. The simulations take far too long and once the power cuts my simulation essentially stops. I know about the restart files however with the input file I have it is not feasible to use the restart routine.

I am able to rent an Ubuntu Server locally which would fit my needs. Has anyone been able to install LIGGGHTS on Ubuntu Server?
I know there is no GUI for Ubuntu server however this can be installed from what I understand.
