Effect of Neighbour Settings and PC configuration

Submitted by SHUBHAM AGARWAL on Thu, 01/28/2021 - 13:22

Hello
I am relatively new to LIGGGHTS-flexible fibers, and I don't understand the effect of neighbor settings quite well. My model has particles of diameter 30e-6 m. Simulation box is cubic with edge of 1000 * particle dia.

When I run with following neighbor settings on my PC:, it runs fine
neighbor 0.001 bin
neigh_modify delay 0 one 5000

Issue with Superquadric Curvature

Submitted by Narayani on Tue, 01/26/2021 - 15:16

Hello!
I have been trying to use the gaussian curvature for the force calculations between two superquadric particles. To do so , I have used the command :

pair_style gran model hertz/stiffness  surface superquadric gaussianCurvature yes tangential_damping off

However , the radius that it is using for the forces calculations is the same as volume equivalent radius. Similarly I tried with meanCurvature yes and with CurvatureLimitFactor as more too , but even then the volume equivalent radius is being used...

Segmentation Fault

Hi
I have re-installed LIGGGHTS-flexible fibers version (https://github.com/schrummy14/LIGGGHTS_Flexible_Fibers.git) on my win10 pc using Ubuntu app. After compilation I am able to run the tutorial examples, however, when I try to run model for my problem, I get the following error.
Strange thing is that I was able to run the same code before. Also, my PC has 12 cores but I am not able to allocate more than 5 cores for the run. All the above problems were not there previously.

neighbor multi for granular systems

Submitted by June on Sun, 01/24/2021 - 06:11

Dear LIGGGHTS users,

In my granular systems, the largest particle diameter is 50 times the smallest particle diameter, and it is inefficient to use a single set of bins. For example, the simulation time of a mono disperse particle system is much shorter than that of binary particle system with the same particle number.

use the the variable command to flag specific atoms to exclude from a group

Submitted by zpy2021 on Tue, 01/19/2021 - 08:04

Dear LIGGGHTS users!
I want to use the variable command to include and exclude the specific particles from a group, and I used the similar commands like that in the Docs as following:

compute 1 all pe/atom
compute 2 all reduce sum c_1
thermo_style custom step temp pe c_2
run 0
variable eatom atom "c_1 > -3.0"
group hienergy variable eatom

errors with neighbor multi

Submitted by June on Mon, 01/18/2021 - 07:13

Dear LIGGGHTS users,

I am simulating packing systems with a very wide range of particle size, and use "neighbor 0.002 multi"+"communicate multi vel yes". However, the output kinetic energy and pressure are both zero. When using "neighbor 0.002 bin"+"communicate single vel yes", the output kinetic energy and pressure are not zero.

Could you please tell me the reason?
Any help will really be appreciated.

Best wishes
June
