CFDEM®coupling, LIGGGHTS® and ParScale - Announcements from the developers

LIGGGHTS® 3.2: (released 29.04.2015)

Version 3.2 represents a major facelift for LIGGGHTS®. The focus of LIGGGHTS® is modelling of macroscopic phenomena (granular or sph), not atomic or molecular systems. Version 3.2 removes a lot of legacy features and documentation from LAMMPS which made LIGGGHTS® code or documentation misleading or ambiguous. Since this legacy code and documentation was not maintained or updated in the past, it did not make sense to keep it in the release

LIGGGHTS® 3.1.0: (released 18 Feb 2015)

LIGGGHTS® 3.0.7 patched: (released 14 January 2015)

+ Added a missing file necessary for compilation for the compilation of the new ParScale-LIGGGHTS® coupling functionality (cfd_datacoupling_simple.h). Thanks to Riccardo Maione for flagging this.

Graz University of Technology and DCS Computing GmbH release ParScale

31st of December 2014

Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) together with DCS Computing GmbH (DCS) are please to announced the release of the `1.0.1-beta` version of the tool `ParScale`. This version is distributed is licensed under the Lesser General Public License (see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html) by TU Graz and DCS.

LIGGGHTS 3.0.7: (released 5 January 2015)

The CFDEMproject team is proud to announce the release of a new particle-scale simulation engine: ParScale
More information be released soon...
+ The 3.0.7 release of LIGGGHTS adds the ParScale-LIGGGHTS coupling functionality to LIGGGHTS
+ Also fixed a critical bug in parallel mesh handling in connection to moving mesh.

LIGGGHTS 3.0.6: (released 11 November 2014)

"Carnival edition" of LIGGGHTS (in Germany and Austria, Carnival starts 11 Nov, 11:11 am)
+ Fixed a critical bug in parallel mesh handling. Thanks to Christian Richter (OVGU Magdeburg) and Rouven Weiler (BASF) for almost simultaneously flagging the issue!

LIGGGHTS 3.0.5: (released 31 October 2014)

+ Fixed a critical bug introduced into fix mesh/surface/stress/servo by yesterday's 3.0.4 release. This was reveiled by a nightly test automation run. Thanks to Andreas Aigner (DCS Computing) for detecting and fixing the problem!
+ Andreas Aigner (DCS Computing) also included an improvement to the hooke/hysteresis pair style, which was originally contributed by Christian Richter (OVGU Magdeburg). Thanks to both!

LIGGGHTS 3.0.4: (released 30 October 2014)

Dear all,

Christoph Kloss and Christoph Goniva (DCS Computing), Stefan Radl (TU Graz), Thmoas Hagelien and Shahriar Amini (SINTEF) organize an invited session entitled

Multi-Scale Modelling of Reactive Particle-Based Processes - session code 35

in the frame of the Particles 2015 conference to be held in Barcelona, Spain, 28-30 Sept 2015. This is a major event for the particle modelling community, for more information see http://congress.cimne.com/particles2015
