Hi all

I wish to use an other material for the walls then for the particles, e.g. particles > glass, walls > Al. Under the fix mesh/gran I can specify the walltype by setting the number (ID) of the atom type. I did the following steps trying to use a different wall material:
1) read data file: 3 atom types
2) read data file: define the coordinates and properties for the 2 existing atom types
3) for fix property/global I spedified 3 youngsModulus, 3 poissonsRatios, 9 coefficientRestitution, 9 coefficientFriction and 1 characteristicVelocity

hi, all

now i want to simulate this process that single particle impinges on the bonded material to see the micro-crack on the material. so, i want to know whether it is hard to simulate the bonded material like ceramics with the relative properties. thanks.

cheers

Hi,

i've followed the installation instructions given in the installation tutorial for ubuntu. But when I try to run an example case, such as "liggghts < in.conveyor" I get the output: "liggghts: command not found". What could be the problem and how can I solve this?

regards

Hi all,

I have a simulation in which I calculate the average per particle force and use it to control the sim, i.e.

compute avg_f all reduce ave fx fy fz
variable mag_ave_f equal sqrt(c_avg_f[1]^2+c_avg_f[2]^2+c_avg_f[3]^2)

Hi,
Is there any way to dump force (weight) on wall of container due to all particles (if I dont want to use mesh)?
Thanks in advance,
Ram

Hi everybody,
The output file of the following programme dumps lot of zeros even in atomic ids.
Could you give some explanation?

###### programme starts here ##########

Hi everybody,
I am making a packing from the standard read_data file in LIGGGHTS example. The particles are falling under gravity.
I am facing problems similar to the particles disappear problem at node/456

I have also increased the spacing of wall to avoid touching with the wall. But the particles are disappearing faster with this.

Disappearance starts when there are many neighbors.

Any comments...

Best regards,
Samantaray

Hi everybody,
I think there is a minor bug in the output of make package-update and make package-status on GRANULAR package in liggghts_1p4p6. Though it is installing the GRANULAR package the screen output of package-status and package-update says otherwise.

The output are given below.
regards,
Samantaray

$ make yes-GRANULAR
Installing package GRANULAR

$ make package-status
Installed NO: package ASPHERE Installed NO: package CLASS2
Installed NO: package COLLOID

hello all.

can anybody help me how to rebuild liggghts with all the packages.
i followed this way:
make yes-all
make packages-update
make clean-all
make fedora_fpic

but this is giving errors. these errors have deleted previously build executable lmp_fedora_fpic. im not getting what to do now.

thanks for any reply

Hi all

In the LIGGGHTS doc I've read about modeling a rotating container using the rotate keyword. I'd like to rotate a container with one particle inside. For more details I've adhered the in.rot file. My questions are:

1) Why do I need the lattice command for rotating?
2) What changes are necessary that the particle can move free and falling down under gravity?
3) Is it sufficient modeling the container just with the simulation box?
