LIGGGHTS® - User Forum

Dear all,

I have problem with rotating the geometry stl file in LIGGGHTS.
without rotation everything is working well and no problem occurs but when I insert the following rotation line to the script:

fix movecad1 all/move/mesh mesh cad1 rotate origin 0. 0. 0. axis 0. 1. 0. period 1

this error happens:
ERROR: Could not find fix group ID (modify.cpp:657)

Dear LIGGGHTS users,

I encountered some problem when compling LIGGGHTS using cfdemCompLIG command in Mac OS X.
The issue seems to occur during compilation of sub-libraries for liggghts.
Detailed logs are attached. Here is some additional information that I tried to get from compileLIGGGHTS_lib.sh:

Hi,
I am trying to run a simulation with a wide disparity in particle sizes. For the same, I wanted to use the "neighbor binsize multi" option which would be more efficient then using a single bin size for all particles. However when I run the simulation with the "multi" option, no neighbour list is created. The "multi" option also seems missing in the neighbor_gran.cpp file. Has this option, which is available in lammps, not carried forward in liggghts?

Thanks,
Tapan

Hi all,

I would like to know how particles are placed on a wall (primitive and/or mesh). Are they put on a regular network or randomly?

Thank you guys,

Hi,
i have a question about the calculation of the contact force for particle-wall contact.
For example, if i use the Hertzian model, which radius will be inserted for the wall in the prefactor of the equation
sqrt(delta*(Ri*Rj/(Ri+Rj))*(...)?
Is the force calculated the same way, like for particle-particle-contact, at all?

Hi! i'm relatively new to liggghts, and i want to compute the contact area in a cone crusher. So far i'm using the "compute wall/gran/local contactArea" command, to store the information, unfortunately, i don't know how to use only a single mesh wall to compute the contact area.

The code that does the wall gran, computation and the dumping is:

Hi,

is it possible to calculate a variable with circular dependency?
like

variable a equal v_a+1

and I want to evaluate the variable each timestep. So I need to use the variable in a command where it is used every timestep?
Is there a smart funktion that calculates the variable every n timesteps without printing or saving the variable somewhere?

Thanks
Joshua

Hey,

it is possible to do

"compute ${omeg} all reduce ave c_atomprops[1]
compute ${vy} all reduce ave c_atomprops[2]
variable a string c_${omeg}
variable b string c_${vy}"

and also it is possible to give a string to the next:
"variable allresult string ${a}"

but why is it not possible to create a string out of two or more strings?
"variable allresult string ${a} ${b}"

doing so yields the following error:
ERROR: Illegal variable command (../variable.cpp:278)

Hi all,

I am using pair_style gran model hertz tangential history in my input script.
I am getting the following error, when i am running the simulation.

ERROR: Could not locate a fix/property storing value(s) for poissonsRatio as requested by model hertz. (../modify_liggghts.cpp:313)

Can someone please suggest, what can be the reason for this.

Thank you,

Narendra

Hi everybody,

I am trying to model a cylinder-like shape with a high length-to-diameter ratio.

The multi-sphere particle could look like this: ooooooo
So, the model would include a huge number of spheres, when I try to model several thousand of those particles.

As far as I know, liggghts also supports the application of ellipsoids in granular models, via the ASPHERE package.
