"Expected integer parameter in input script or data file" Error while trying to fill up a cylinder

Submitted by Saurabh Das on Thu, 11/28/2019 - 16:54

Hello,
I want to fill up a cylinder with particles. I try the following code, but get an error "Expected integer parameter in input script or data file". Since LIGGGHTS does not tell which line has the error I tried changing every float value to integer to see what's wrong, but I could not find the problem.

I would be grateful if someone helps me out! The code's attached herewith.

Scalability issues and 'Outpt time'

Submitted by AnBrito on Wed, 11/27/2019 - 11:07

Hello and good morning/afternoon,
I have a few questions related to the timings LIGGGHTS outputs to the screen/log file at the end of a run as well as some scalability issues im facing.
So i'm running granular simulations of around 500 000 particles discharging in an hopper. I ran the simulation 10 and 100 timesteps with different number of cores to gauge scalability. I used the most recent LIGGGHTS version in Ubuntu 18.04LTS.

Using twoatom types

Dear CFDEM users,
I need to define two atm types, however, I faced an error.
ERROR: Fix property/global (id m1): Fix property/global: Length not correct for variable youngsModulus, length should be equal to 1 (= number of atom types) (/build/liggghts-QCz4in/liggghts-3.3.1+repack1/src/fix_property_global.cpp:244)
Here is the material properties definition:
Material properties required for granular pair styles
fix m1 all property/global youngsModulus peratomtype 5.e6 5.e6
fix m2 all property/global poissonsRatio peratomtype 0.45 0.45

Conservation of Energy after impact

Submitted by antoniosereno on Fri, 11/15/2019 - 17:55

Hi everyone.
I am working on a simulation that involves several impacts between particles; to gain a better understanding of the impact phenomenom I simulated a single impact between 2 particles and I noticed that although the friction coefficient was put to 0 and the coefficient restitution to 1, the conservation of energy and linear momentum was not respected.
Can I ask why? Is it related to the mechanism that the software uses to compute the contact forces or there may be some conceptual mistake I've made?
Thank you for your help
