hello everyone i am trying to apply a radial electrostatic force on particles in the documentation we can use only x y z axis but the force vectors are always pointing in a single direction i need them to be radial like applying constant stress to a cylinder and inclined if possible like using a conical electrode any tip is welcome thank you all.

Hello everyone, I need some help.

Currently, I am doing simulation in LIGGGHTS. My particles insertion area and surface have height approximately 0.02 in si units.

I would like to add some random height so that my particles drop from different height in the same simulations. Purpose of this is to bring noise on heights.

So I want to drop particles randomly at the height of 0.02 +- 10 % or 0.02 +- 20 %while running simulation.

Is it possible to add this idea in liggghts script?

What will be the command?

Thank you.

Hello
I am using "LIGGGHTS-flexible fibres"
For my study, I need to calculate energy stored in bonds such as normal, shear and bending. Is there a command to directly calculate that ?
If not, is there a way to find bond forces in normal, shear, moment, so that I can find energies by integration? As I can see the 'compute property/local ' can give bond forces in X, Y, Z not in normal and shear.

Thanks

Hello everyone,
I was trying to move mesh up and down linearly,

I think somehow I ended up with moving down. My mesh file just goes down and doesn't come up.

I just want little bit of change in position.i.e move mesh little bit up and little bit down while doing simulation.

Right now I am using this command:

`fix move all move/mesh mesh cad linear 0.0 0.0 -1.0`

how can I control mesh while moving down so that it linearly moves up and down?

Thank you.

Hello,

i want to import my particle positions from one Simulation to another. For Testing purposes i'm using the Simulation the particle positions are based on. After the filling process i want to replace the particles with those of the dumb.

I tried doing it with the read_dumb command as follows:

read_dumb dumb.particles_7455000 x y z radius box no purge yes format vtk

When i run it, it says:

ERROR: Unknown command: read_dumb dumb.particles_7455000 x y z radius box no purge yes format vtk (../input.cpp:259)

Hello,

i get the Assertion Error, when i want to simulate on periodic boundary dircetion. If i set all boundaries to fff it works fine. Only when i set ffp, it throws me the error. Can anybody hint me wo where this comes from?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello
I am currently using 'LIGGGHTS-flexible fibers'.
My simulation involves several steps, and I create restart files at each step.
I initially defined n_bondtype=2 for my simulations. Later I realized that I have to include one more bond type. To do the same I did the following:

I am using insert/stream for particle insertion. But for some reason, particles do not come out of the region created by specifying extrusion length. And, due to this, I am not getting streaming flow of particles.

Hello Team, I want to specify frictionless primitive wall. I'm having a triclinic box, with particles and primitive walls defined as type 1 and 2, respectively, and important lines in input script are as follows.
