LIGGGHTS® - User Forum

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if it is somehow possible to define a region, introduce particles on it through the command create atoms and insert them to another region.
For example, create a cylinder full of particles, creating a pack, and drop it to a surface. Is that possible or the closest option is using the insert/pack command?

Thanks in advance!

hi,
I am new user on liggghts. could anyone please help me on how to access on liggghts and connect to paraview.

Thank you.

Hi everybody,

when setting up a computation, I am using the fix rigid command in order to generate L-shaped multi-sphere clumps.

My problem is that some of the clumps pentrate the CAD mesh and get stuck in the wall (cf. attachment). Does anyone know how what the problem could be?

Best regards,
MiRa

Hi all,

I would like to write a fix who store the function exp(1/T), any advice about what fix or compute I could take as a start?

Thanks all

Dear LIGGGHTS/CFDEM developers,

I am interested in modelling fluid-clusters interaction using the LIGGGHTS-OpenFOAM coupling scheme. However, I am facing a problem on the calculation of drag force on clusters (or non-sphere particle).

The cluster is composed of large number of spheres, since drag force is Surface Force, that means there is no drag force acting on the internal particles within the cluster. but the default CFDEM solver will calculate drag force on every particle, hence the Resulting drag force on the Cluster is much bigger.

Is it to simulate the particles in LIGGGHTS with two Young modules, e.g., the soft external part and the hard internal part?

Hej guys,

does anyone know which parameter cause the madness of one particle which kicks all the others out of the world?
This problem appears when i scale down the radius of the particles.

this is my input script:

>>>
units si
newton off
boundary f f f

atom_style granular
atom_modify map array

region world block -10 10 -10 10 -10 10 units box
create_box 1 world

neighbor 0.001 bin
neigh_modify delay 0

communicate single vel yes

Hello,

Hi all,

I like to insert continuously multispheres particles into my LIGGGHTS run by defining is as a molecule, but I saw that the commands used by LAMMPS to do so are not the same in LIGGGHTS, so, I was asking myself, if I want the same command as LAMMPS, could it be enough to take the function in LAMMPS and then just change the function in LIGGGHTS (for example for fix pour)? if not how should I do?

Thanks all

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to pour a certain number of particles over different bodies and shapes.

The problem is that when I visualize the results of the simulation in paraview I don't know how paraview sets the origin of coordinates for the .stl body.

I was also trying to figure out where the .stl body is located when I run the simulation in liggghts? Is there a default position?

Thank you for your attention,
Jonathan.
