How to create a String out of 2 other strings?

Submitted by JoshuaP on Thu, 11/13/2014 - 16:13

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)

Could not locate a fix/property storing value(s)

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

Multi-sphere versus ellipsoid

Submitted by MiRa on Thu, 11/13/2014 - 10:33

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.

Delete particles

Submitted by RobertG on Mon, 11/10/2014 - 16:21

Hello,
im modeling an continous mixer and have two different particle types.
I continously inserte particles at two different location and the mixed up particles leaving the mixer at the same place.
Now the problem. Because of the continously use, there are build more and more particles.
Is it possible to delete all particles, which are at the same area (exit of the mixer).
I have tried it with the delate_atome command and wasn't very successfull.

If anybody can help me. I would be very grateful.

Best regards
RobertG

Restitution coefficient of rigid bodys

Submitted by Nafets on Tue, 11/04/2014 - 09:37

Hi all,
I generate a rigid body shaped like a box with moltemplate and simulate a droptest. The problem is that the body jump's after contact with the mesh to a height that is not in relation to the physical law. k = square root (h'/h)
Restitution coefficient: 0,5
Previous height: 0,5 m
Height after first contact: 0,27756295 m
According to the formula the body should just jump to a height of 0,125m.

Particle moving through .stl-walls

Submitted by RobertG on Fri, 10/31/2014 - 12:33

Hello again,
I'm working with a program, based on the tutorial Continuous Blending Mixer.
My Problem is, that at the insertion area, the particle start to "explode" at a certain time.
That means, some of the particles are going through the wall of the .stl-file.
The starting velocity of the particles is high enough to avoid, that some of the old ones are still in the area, when the new ones are created.
I'm shure, that the area they are created is not too small and there is plenty of space between the the area they are created and the wall.

Is the shear modulus equation in the doc wrong?

Submitted by xuji2010 on Fri, 10/31/2014 - 09:47

Hi all,

In the doc of DEM simulation, the effective shear modulus is:
1 2(2+v1)(1-v1) 2(2+v2)(1-v2)
-- = ------------------ + -------------------
G Y1 Y2

but, the in the global_properties.cpp, line 217:
matrix->data[i][j] = 1./(2.*(2.-vi)*(1.+vi)/Yi+2.*(2.-vj)*(1.+vj)/Yj);

The above two don't match, which one is wrong?

Appreciate any help in advance!
