fix rigid combine two atoms

Submitted by quincy.suehr on Wed, 05/14/2014 - 22:58

I am a little bit new LIGGGHTS and am trying to create a simulation of multisphere rigid bodies rotating in a cyllinder. However, after researching I am still very confused as to how the fix rigid command works.

How does one combine particles into a group to be 'fixed rigidly'?

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

fix rigid/small in LIGGGHTS 3.0.1

Submitted by zamir on Tue, 05/13/2014 - 08:26

Hi All,

Fix rigid/small behaves very differently than fix rigid in v3.0.1. It seems like rigid bodies created by fix rigid/small can exert forces on neighbor particles, but the rigid bodies themselves do not move at all. For some reason, it looks like bodies created by fix rigid/small are not being time integrated. In the source code, the integration schemes look the same... Anyone have the same experience?

FYI, my comm cutoff is large enough, I have tried several comm cutoffs with no change in results.

Thanks,
Zamir

EDIT: Attached a test case

forces on the walls

Submitted by d.pourjafar on Wed, 04/30/2014 - 16:49

Hi all,

According to the doc pages for dumping the forces on the walls the command "fix mesh/gran/stressanalysis" should be used.

My problem is that I have imported the walls by "fix mesh/surface" and changing it to "mesh/gran" didn't work (got the error: invalid fix style)

It seems to me that "fix mesh/gran/stressanalysis" works only if you have used the "mesh/gran". So I was wondering what do you suggest for dumping the forces on the walls without changing the importating command?

Thanks in advance,
Danial
