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

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

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.

### Initialization

# Preliminaries
units si
atom_style sphere
boundary f f f
newton off
communicate single vel yes

# Domain
region reg block -0.320 0.320 -1.960 1.460 -0.290 0.335 units box
create_box 3 reg

### Setup

Hello
I have done one liggghts simulation. Now I want to resume the same simulation not from starting but from where I left last time.
Can I do this in Liggghts.

hello LIGGGHTS Experts,

I have to compute stress and strain for particles.
I tried calculate stress by command:
fix stress all ave/euler nevery 1000 cell_size_relative 4.5 parallel no
and
collected the result by:
dump damp all custom 1000 post/dump*.liggghts id f_stress
but I recived following error:
ERROR: Dump custom fix does not compute per-atom info (../dump_custom.cpp:1383)

How to correctly dump this results?
Can I calculate the strain and stress for a particles in other way?

Best wishes,
Agnieszka

Hello,
I have problem when building liggghts. the makefile.user have been changed as mentioned in the installation document. I have not compilled VTK seperately. So i did the following changes in makefile.user:

USE_VTK = "ON"

VTK_INC_USR=-I/home/liggghts/vtk/include

VTK_LIB_USR=-L/home/liggghts/vtk/lib

So this should automatically download and install VTK. But i am getting the following error.

Hello,

I am very new to LIGGGHTS and I just recently began using it through an Ubuntu environment which I am also new to. I am attempting to run the command:
"mpirun -np 4 lmp_auto -echo both < in.vel2.txt"
and I received the error:
"lmp_auto: error while loading shared libraries: libvtkCommonCore-6.2.so.6.2: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory"
which is repeated four times before terminating.

I got this error

### Setup

Hello everyone,

I am conducting a triaxial test for soil. I am running 2 simulations for this triaxial test . In the first simulation the particles were inserted and then consolidated with a confining pressure of 500 kPa. At the end of the this simulation, a restart file is generated.

Dear all,
I am a new LIGGGHTS user. I would like to do run a case in which two particles with an initial velocity collide with each other.
I am wondering if it is possible in LIGGGHTS to give an initial velocity to the particles or not?
Thank you in advance.
