Hi everyone,

Now I need to run a modeling of granular flow within an auger mixer. Approximately the total particle number is around 400,000. I have a server with 24 CPUs around. I wonder if this computer can handle this modeling? Anyone can give a hint about this ?

hi everybody,
I am trying to simulate a top and a bottom mesh platen contained by rings. these rings are made by "fix rigid" command using small particles (dia. 0.0002 mm). rings are filled by particles (dia. 0.001 mm). so I use these commands (briefly) :

atom_style granular
boundary m m m
newton off

communicate single vel yes

units si
read_data .../NGIgrains ############reads particles proprties and position

Hi, there
I am trying to implement a tri-axial compression test to calibrate the parameters for contact model.
There could be two geometry for sample, cylindrical and block, right?

How to keep the pressure constant on the meshed wall as the lateral wall area varies under compression?
And another thing, for example, for the cylindrical sample, how to implement a targeted force on the cylindrical wall towards radial direction?
cheers

Hi,
I am new in this field of investigation, so I am trying to do some modifications in LIGGGHTS examples. My goal is to use DEM and CFD for modelling of the Shaft furnace for raw material thermal treatment.

I will be thankful for any advice (or better, for correction of attached code)

I will be also very thankful if anybody send me more of yours own examples or advices how to effectively learn use this tools. (pavol.palicka@tuke.sk)

Best regards

Here is LIGGGHTS output of my existing problem:

Hello all,

I am trying to create a loop with atom style variable to simulate the effect of a solid reaction on a multispheric body here is my relevant script and the error

Hello everyone,

I am using LIGGGHTS for a fair time. Done with number of simulations. But for one, I had to add external electric forces. For which, I have also added the drag components (0.5*drag_coefficient*rho_air*projected_surface*velocity*velocity).

For my case these components are resulting into substantial amount even to nulify the applied electric force. (Drag coefficient calculated from literature as 1.47 for the velocity range in use).

Hi Everybody,

I am trying to set up CFDEMproject on ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and I am following the same exact steps on githubAccess_public.pdf.

I installed OpenFOAM-2.3.x successfully, and everything went fine up to

cfdemSysTest

and I get some information confirming that the paths are set correctly.

Then I started compiling LIGGGHTS(R) by typing:
cfdemCompLIG

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to dump the processor ID of a particle locating when the simulation operates in parallel?
Or the original processor ID?
Your hint will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Kai

Hi all,

I need the header files of the Paraview in order to build a plugin. To have them, in the Paraview building manual it says I have to implement this variable "PARAVIEW_INSTALL_DEVELOPMENT_FILES" during configuring it. But there's no such option in Mac OS (as the manual also says).

So was wondering if anybody knows a way how to introduce this variable in Mac OS? Or a way how to get the header files after installation in order to build a plugin?

Thanks a ton!

Hello!

I'm running a Simulation at Liggghts and at a specific time step i get this error message.
Does somebody now what this error message means?
