want particle-wall contact, but no particle-particle contact

Submitted by evansmuts on Thu, 01/10/2013 - 13:47

Hi

Is it possible to have no particle-particle contact, but still have particle-wall contact? I want to test something were I don't have particles colliding with each other, but I need them to contact the walls so that they stay inside to domain.

As far as I understand it, I need "pair_style /gran/X" so that particle-wall contact can be calculated, so I have to specify that pair_style.

Visualisation of walls

Submitted by knoe_ph on Tue, 01/08/2013 - 11:24

Hallo,

I would like to know if it is possible to visualise walls in paraview, which are implemented via "fix wall/gran/hooke/history".

For stl files, I dump the vtk files via dump mesh/vtk and open them in paraview, but this doesnt work for "normal" boundary walls (or does it?). Would be glad if someone may help me.

Kind regards

Particle damper - dissipated energy

Submitted by Tijmus on Fri, 01/04/2013 - 16:53

I'm trying to simulate a cylindrical particle damper and basically have my simulation up and running now. But... I can't figure out how to extract the quantity I'm interested in: the energy dissipated by the interparticle and wall collisions (either integrated over time or per timestep).

Any ideas? Thanks.

LIGGGHTS: Static load balancing

Submitted by e.derakhshani on Mon, 12/31/2012 - 15:24

Hi,

HAPPY NEW YEAR ;)

I have successfully compiled balance.cpp and balance.h and then I recompiled CFDEM to introduce balance command to it. Now static load balancing command is activated in LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC and It works very well. Also I check it on the Cluster and everything seems fine.

But when I tried to run CFDEM I faced with the following errors. Then I separably checked ligghts in two state : 1. without restart file 2. with restart file. It seems when information read from restart file liggghts crashes.

Any one has any idea ???

Trouble to use fix pour command!

Submitted by DependOnMe on Wed, 12/26/2012 - 04:00

Hi everyone!
I have trouble to use fix pour command! The related script is just like this:

region beads block -0.1 0.1 -0.1 0.1 0.1 0.3 units box
fix 4 all pour 2000 1 300719 region beads vol 0.13 50 diam 0.01 0.01

I don't think there are any problems,but liggghts doesn't recognize this as a valid fix style(ERROR: Invalid fix style (modify.cpp:710)). This really confused me! Can you help me? Thanks a lot!

Regards!
Mike
