wall/gran/local command

Submitted by mhk on Thu, 12/12/2013 - 06:15

I was wondering if anyone can explain more about the "history", "periodicity flag" and "triangle id" in compute wall/gran/local command and also how mesh id and triangle id are different from each other. I also need to know if there are 17 output values(in total) for this command or, if there are more than one value for history. I am using "pair_style gran/hertz/history rolling_friction cdt".
any answer is appreciated.

Cheers,
Mahsa

how to call the atom style variables for calculation

Submitted by dixonarulraj on Tue, 12/10/2013 - 16:39

hi,
i want to calculate the volume change according to the change in the diameter of the particles but
i cant able to use the atom style variables in the calculation.

i cant able to use the variable radi for the formulation of the volume and i am getting an error saying
ERROR: Per-atom compute in equal-style variable formula (variable.cpp:895)

variable vtotal equal 1^3
variable vp1 equal ${radi}^3)*3.1415/4
print ----- ${vp1} -----
variable n1 equal (${vtotal}-${vp1})/${vtotal}
print "## quit"
quit

Total calculation time since siumlation start

Submitted by uhelfenstein on Tue, 12/10/2013 - 13:11

I try to visualize the speed of a running solver. To do this I want to dump into a CSV file for example the elapsed time since the first run and the current time steps. This CSV file can be visualized and periodically updated (e.g. with gnuplot or LiveGraph) to estimate the required time to finalize the simulation and to see the change of the simulation speed.

problem using move/mesh

Submitted by hansmannb on Mon, 12/09/2013 - 11:28

Hej guys.

I need to use the "move/mesh mesh cad rotate/variable" command because I can spezifiy angular velocity.

My problem:
A)
variable omega equal 2
fix bewegung all move/mesh mesh cad rotate/variable origin 0 0 0 axis 0 1 0 omega ${omega}

B)
variable omega equal 2
fix bewegung all move/mesh mesh cad rotate/variable origin 0 0 0 axis 0 1 0 omega omega

C)
fix bewegung all move/mesh mesh cad rotate/variable origin 0 0 0 axis 0 1 0 omega 2

wall force

Submitted by hansmannb on Wed, 12/04/2013 - 10:49

Hi,

has someone an idea how to fix this problem?

My challenge is it to move a wall/gran/hertz/history (complex geometry) through a region full of particles to compute the resulting force onto the wall.
I need the force for further calculations in MatLab.

Some ideas?

Regards

Amazon EC2 and StarCluster

Submitted by philmartin on Fri, 11/29/2013 - 02:42

I am experimenting with Amazon EC2 to see if I can get some significant wins in LIGGGHTS running time. I've tried a variety of datasets, and I seem to be encountering some sort of slow down beyond 24 CPUs.

My bigger test dataset I'm running is conveyor a simulation. At the end of the 10 second run, there are around 200k particles. The path the particles travel is quite narrow, but oblique, meaning the simulation is highly sensitive to processor partitioning because there are large empty spaces in the simulation box
