Hello, Christophe, Hello all,
Is elasto-plastic pair style implemented in Liggghts? Thank you
Cheers,

Hi Christoph, Hi LIGGGGHTSers,
Rencently, i am working on simulations of stirring a peller (steel) in a vassel with particles (radii =1 mm, glass beans ). The simulation behave strangely, withparticles flowing everywhere out of control (cf. attached figure: bad_normal_e). The properties are given at the bottom.

Hi.

I have a question

I want to calculate the collision energy between balls in a ball-mill.
So I'm trying get the value of the kinetic energy of balls when a ball contacts another ball.

The condition of atom type is granular,

I have used "compute pair/gran/local command ",

as describe below

compute pa all pair/gran/local id

and, I've gotten the IDs of balls(atoms) which contacts another balls with as c_pa[1], and c_pa[2].

I want to make group which have the atom IDs in c_pa[1], and c_pa[2] ,but i couldn't that.

Hi,

when I try to use addtorque on particles there occurs an error with 'too many neighborbins (neighbor.cpp:1747)'.
Without the addtorque its working. To use addtorque I went before in the src directory and did 'make yes-user'. Then make clean-all and make fedora. It is now running a few timesteps but then the error occurs. Is there maybe a better way then using addtorque?

thanks
Joshua

Hi everyone,

I noticed that a lot of papers suggested reducing Young's modulus (shown in Hertz contact model) by several orders in Engineering modeling. But I didn't find any guideline on how many orders are proper in doing this, especially for a binary system. Can anyone give me some reference? Thanks.

Dear Liggghts users,

I am having three problems counting the number of particles of 2 different sizes flowing through a rectangular slot. My Liggghts version is 2.3.6.

The first problem is that when I use group function with variable function as shown below in the input script, the output of particle count is always zero. I don't quite understand why this happens. (Here I simplify the problem by using fewer timesteps and try to count to particle in the insert region, named as inbox.)

Here is the script I wrote:

Hello,
I'm new at Liggghts. So far I worked with the continuous mixer tutorial.
After a few tries and errors, I managed it, to work under Liggghts 3.0.3.
At the moment I try to get the time of creation of every particle to be written in the dump file.
I searched for some clues, but I didn't find anything.

I hope somebody can help me.

Thanks.

Dear Colleagues,
I would like to esxport the displacement of the moving mesh when using commmand fix mesh/surface/stress/servo. Is there a way to do this?
Thank you.

Hi users

I am a new user of the LIGGGHTS, and i work in my resource with this program. I have a questions, How can i install molecular package? I need to work with ellipsoid for my resource, and i have read that others users have created codes for this atom style but the program needs the molecular package. Thanks very much

Dear colleagues,
There are many tools to generate .stl mesh., i. e. FreeCAD, solidworks, G-MESH. Which one goes better with LIGGGHTS?
How do i know if my mesh is good enough or not? Thank you inadvance for your expertise.
Best regards,
ZYan
