LIGGGHTS® - User Forum

Hi all,

I run into [illegal mesh ID provided] error when I tried to drop a mesh (box).
The attached file contains all the script.
The command I used is
fix db all move/mesh mesh meshes/boxdrop.stl type 1 linear 0.0 0.0 -1.0

I tried change to a mesh that works, but still.
Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Ernest

hello,

I am a new user of LIGGGHTS having some doubts regarding the coarse graining method.

almost all the papers I read dealing with CG state that there are some parameters that are ought to be adjusted in order to obtain physically accepted representation of the unscaled system behaviour by following some rules depending on the scaling factor s.

The thing is that I did not find a command where I can explicitly modify some of these parameters such as contact stiffness K and moment of inertia I.

Whenever I try to load the premade script "continuous Blending Mixer" I get this errorcode:

Greetings,

Hello all,

I will go straight with the problem, thank you in advance.

I built LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC to my Ubuntu's application on Windows 10 as the documentation states.
After a successful [make auto], I tried to run with [chute_wear] like the documentation says.

This error
$ HYDU_create_process (utils/launch/launch.c : 74) : execvp error on file lmp_auto (Too many levels of symbolic links)
appears after I tried (I have only 1 processor)
$ mpirun -np 1 lmp_auto < in.chute_wear
in the [chute_wear] example directory.

Hi everyone,

I am new to LIGGGHTS software. Does surface mesh size effect the particle flow simulation?? I am doing the simulation for particle flow inside the screw feeder where only surface mesh i generated. what about the volume mesh and how the calculations are occurring??? also please explain the role of neighbor listing.
Thanks in advance

This is my LIGGGHTS file.

Is there a way to add a force and a variable velocity to a group of rigid grains?

Hi everyone,

is there a general guideline on how often to compute and print out thermo dynamic info? For example, how do I decide whether I should use thermo 1000 or thermo 2000?
I'm thinking of something similar to 0.1 ... 0.2 x Rayleigh Time for timesteps.

Thank you for your help,
Michael

I met some problems when making LIGGGHTS on my mac. I tried to change the MAKEFILE.USER in src/MAKE but every time when I type "make auto" in the terminal, error occurs like this:

Makefile:940: *** 'Could not determine suitable appendix of VTK library with VTK_INC="-I/usr/local/liggghts/vtk/include", VTK_LIB="" and VTK_APPENDIX="-VTK_MAJOR_VERSION.VTK_MINOR_VERSION"'. Stop.
make: *** [auto] Error 2
