Hi,
Does anybody have an updated version of restart2data tool?

After using 1.5.2:
pair_style gran/hertz/history 1 0 #Hertzian without cohesion
pair_coeff * *
write_restart restart.chute3DPBC_init

I get the following from restart2data:

Reading restart file ...
WARNING Restart file version does not match restart2data version
restart2data version = 15 Jan 2010
ERROR: Unknown bond style ?ctive

Hi Christoph
i want to simulate a compression test. First particles are poured into a 0.5 m high cylinder without topwall, result is saved for restart; and now i want to add a top wall and want to move it to compress the particles, but i am getting an error while restarting the file that it can't open restart file onef1.restart (onef1.restart is the name of restart file) . Can you help me?
Thanks,

Hallo,

quick question:

is it possible to change properties like youngs modulus (which I defined right at the start of my simulation with a fix_property/global command) at a later stage of simulation?

I first tried it by simply unfixing the previous command and then redefining it again with fix_property/global and the new value. This procedure resulted in multiple "WARNING: Dangerous build in triangle list" and as a consequence my particles disappeared out of my simulation box.

Hi All,

I am trying to use the "simple" version of gran/hertz/history (gran/hertz/history/stiffness) but I am unable to run on the current version on Liggghts (1p5p3). I have provided a simple example code below.

When I run using an older version (1p2p9) it appears to work well, however with 1p5p3 I receive this error:

ERROR: Could not locate a fix/property storing value(s) for gamman_abs as requested by (null)

The problem is that I am using hertz (not hooke) so I should not need gamman_abs. If I define gamman_abs and gammat_abs, I receive this error:

I want to have two types of granular atoms, one with properties of glass and the other a ceramic, how do I do that? I know that the Youngs modulus etc has to be set with the fix command with as many values as there are atom types. But how do I declare there to be two atom types?

Sorry for the basic nature of my question - I know DEM but still grappling with LIGGGHTS commands and fluency.

I'm having issues with the restart and read_restart commands.

In my example simulation, I have a box filled with particles, which are then indented by a cylinder.

The simulation runs fine, and I have it output restart data at every 2000 timesteps.

When I attempt to restart from any of those files, the output from the new simulation shows ~1000 timesteps where the particles are spread through the domain, and fall to the bottom of the box:

Dear Sir,
I am new LIGGGHT user and i am trying to do a simulation in which we will pour the particles of different sizes but I am facing the following problems:

1. I can only see one type of particle in simulation whereas in input script i have used two different particles of different radius.

2.During running the input file the following warning is coming
"Less insertions than requested, the particle size distribution you wish may not be pictured".

Hello,

I downloaded the latest version of liggghts1.5.3. In the DOC folder I am not able to find the html file for insert/stream. Would you please help me finding it? Thanks.

Hallo,

I'm wondering if there is a possibility to move a stl-file (which i included by the "fix mesh/gran/stressanalysis" command) in my simulation to a given position.

Hello experts,

I was trying to build CFDEM when I got stuck in LIGGGHTS installation part. I tried using different make files, I also edited MPI pathes, however, every time, I get this error about which I absolutely don't have any clue:

cfd_datacoupling_file.cpp:331:41:error: asleepa was not declared in this scope

Could any body please help?
