Velocity Verlet scheme with velocity dependent force

Submitted by bastien on Tue, 06/18/2019 - 19:50

Dear LIGGGHTS users,
In LIGGGHTS for the integration of the velocity and the position we use a velocity Verlet scheme. This choice is motivated by the fact that we need to have a global conservation of the energy in our system. That’s why it is important to use a symplectic integration scheme.

How to calculate stress tensor in LIGGGGHTS .

Submitted by deepakpawar.2310 on Sat, 06/15/2019 - 19:45

Hello Friends

I am doing a small exercise to match the axial direction stress (sigma_zz) using the following two commands
(1) ave/time
(2) stress/atom

In order to calculate the axial stress from ave/time, perhaps I need to divide the z-direction force with piston area.
And from stress/atom command, I guess, will get directly the axial stress (sigma_zz) by using the following snippet

Skip/freeze particles for saving computational time

Bias's picture
Submitted by Bias on Thu, 06/13/2019 - 16:14

I'm setup a simulation where I'm pouring particles into a geometry to form a stack of particles. The particles are the agglomerating together with a cohesion model and I notice that the computational resources is increasing with increased number of particles (as one would expect).

For many of these particles they will not move anymore since they are just agglomerated together and have many contacts so I would like to skip the calculation on these particles and just freeze them instead such that Liggghts does not calculate the contact forces and they will then just act as a wall.

compute pair/gran/local of atoms in a defined region

Hi Experts,

I can´t solve the task to write the contact forces between particles in a defiend region. I tried it with:

region comp block -0.075 0.075 0.0 0.075 0.015 0.03 units box

group comp_group region comp

someone knows the physical meanings of the bond coeff command in the atom_style gran

Submitted by jonathancuba on Tue, 06/11/2019 - 04:05

Hi, I have a question, I know that in LIGGGHTS WITH BONDS there are two forms of fracture, my doubt is that it means that value of " $c " y {" rb "}
variable rp equal 0.015625 #Radio de la particula
variable d equal 2*${rp} #Diametro de la particula
variable rb equal 0.8*${rp} **************************** What happens physically if I increase this value?
variable I equal 0.25*PI*${rb}*${rb}*${rb}*${rb}
variable A equal PI*${rb}*${rb}
variable kn equal 2*$Y/$d # comportamiento del grano 3.2e8 tesis 1e10

steel plate

Submitted by saman on Sun, 06/09/2019 - 00:12

Hi everyone
I want to simulate a steel plate that measures the particles underneath by putting the force on it and measure the amount of stress and displacement of particles below it. What do you think is best for simulating this steel plate? Should I define a wall and rigid it?
thanks

ERROR : when using the read_restart command in a code with bonds

Submitted by jonathancuba on Sat, 06/08/2019 - 05:47

Hello :
I have a problem, the write_restar and read_restar command worked correctly (to restart the simulation from file.restart), for simulations without bonds, but in my code that has bonds (bond style gran), it does not allow me to read the file with the "read_restart file.restart" command, sends me error: segment violation.
Can you help me solve this problem please?

it is necessary to eliminate the create_atoms, and lattice in this code?

thanks.
I attach my code

ERROR volume expectancy too small

Submitted by chow2003 on Fri, 06/07/2019 - 13:06

Hello,
As a part of my project i'm dealing with sand of less particle size. I got an error saying that volume expectancy too low and i tried to change units but I'm not succeeded. Here i attach my part of code.
Thank you.
