Periodic BC for moved mesh

Dear community!
I'm trying to conduct the first part of triaxial test -confinig. For this I am moving 6 wall using stress/servo command. This wells shold be periodic.
Does anybody know what kind command should I use for periodic moved wall/mesh?

Below example from my script.

Fix x1 all mesh/surface/stress/servo file meshes/x1_conf.stl type 1 com 0. 0.00175 0.001 ctrlPV force axis 1. 0. 0. target_val 5.0 vel_max 0.05 kp 3

How to use the massflow/mesh command without a mesh .stl file

I have a complicated geometry and I want to count the particle through any cross-sections (which is basically a plane).

I was thinking to define a plane (for example the "region" command can define a "plane") and then use this massflow/mesh command. I thought it should be straightforward.

Coordination number for superquads

Submitted by Sounik on Sat, 03/09/2019 - 03:04

Hi Everyone,

It is possible for someone to let me know, the procedure to calculate coordination number (CN) for superquads?. Presently, I am using the compute for spherical particles, which is giving very high values (expected but unsure of the procedure) of CN.

As there are possibilities of face to face contacts in superquads as opposed to only point to point contact in spheres, I am wondering how it is being accounted for in the calculation.

Very much appreciated,
Sounik

simulating charged particles

Submitted by setare on Tue, 03/05/2019 - 10:44

I want to simulate a system of micro-sized particles via molecuar dynamic method. I have tried Lammpas and I know the Liggghts is more convenient for granular systems. I read topics in forums that have been reported problems in simulation of charged particles via Liggghts.
Finally, does Liggghts supports colloid packeage or no?
looking forward to get answers from developers.

Thanks

Cohesive model, possible bug?

Submitted by gwilliamson on Sun, 03/03/2019 - 17:19

Hi, I am currently using a multisphere approach in a simulation with a washino/capillary/viscous model. I have inserted both an inertia tensor and mass as stated in the documentation however when I run the simulation the particles disappear after the insertion stage. I ran the script again without the inertia tensor and mass values allowing LIGGGHTS to calculate these through the Monte Carlo approach. The script ran fine and the particles are present, however the difference in mass, inertia tensor and n-sphere values for the approaches are very different.
