Hi,

I have been working on a project regarding compressing and tensile of a solid material.

I had not any problem in compressing part and I utilize "fix X1 all mesh/surface/stress/servo" to do that and the results is perfect.
My problem is in tensile part. When I utilize the previous commend for tensile in one direction, there is no tensile is observed. I implement "Fix move/mesh" for tensile in that direction, but I could not observe any tensile.

I want to know if it is possible to model tensile using LIGGGHTS.

Hi everybody,

i am trying to parallelize the LIGGGHTS calculation, but it seems that it doesn't work with "mpirun -np 8 liggghts in.script"
In the "in.script" i placed the command "Processors 2 4 1" to divide domain into subdomains.

The error i got is:

Hi everybody,

I met some problems on displaying particle in paraview. In my modeling, I have two types of particles. When I postprocess the vtk data in paraview. In 'Coloring' category, I choose 'type'. But the two type particles display the same color. I check the vtk file and there are two types there. Can anyone help to explain why? Besides, how can display particle in real size? Thanks.

See picture below.
The left port is fed with type 1 particle and the right port is fed with type 2 particle

Hi,
I am trying to perform a simulation with the pair style "hybrid/overlay" combining "hertz/stiffness" with "lj/cut" (see attached script)
However, the simulation crashes as soon as a particle touches a wall (this happens at timestep ~9400 in my simulation).
Does anybody have an idea what I am doing wrong in the script?
Note: The simulation runs fine if one removes the walls!
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
I am a new user of LIGGGHTS. I just could install it yesterday. righ now I am studying this program from examples.
My intention of using this program is to simulate dust sucking or powder sucking process from tray using some nozzle which can be moved above tray. I want to know whether this program can do it or not. Which topic or command should I focus on?
The example of the process is:

Hej guys,

i need for my further calculation the exact forces that take effect on my mesh cause by the granular.

I use the "dump mesh/vtk face stresscomponents" and get dumpfiles like this example:

Hi all,

i'm trying to reproduce a rotary kiln with two different form of particles, rectangular and spherical,
my problem is that when I try to change the neighbor from nsq to bin it gives me a segmentation fault,
I've saw that the problem is probably related to the neighbor bin, which I have to select when I add triangular meshes. Someone knows how to solve this?

Regards,

Hi,

an updated tutorial for Ubuntu, Mint and other Debian based distributions. Since MPI support didn't work the old way and I don't need it at the moment, I left it, maybe someone can post the solution. I integrate jpg and png support for image dump, since I do animations in ParaView. I updated the Syntax-Highlighting for gedit by Philippe Seil for LIGGGHTS 3.0. The file is detached, his original post not longer on-line anymore.
It would be fine, if you give feedback and recommendations.

Paul

Hi all,

i have to simulate the breakage behavior of rectangular particles, and i was asking myself if this is possible with fix rigid and fix bond/break

Best regards,
