Hi,

I am trying to track submicron particles, where I recieve error of small particles sizes, useing fix pour . however, in creation of single atoms there is no problem as I define diameter rather than radius there.

my units are all cgs. is there a way to solve this problem?

Thanks,

Hello everybody,

I tried to compile CFDEM from the instructionfile

system/files/setup_LIGGGHTS__OpenFoamR_CFDEM_2p0_on_Ubuntu1004_24052011.txt

At this point ...

#####################################
# compile src

#- change the user-1.7.1/src/lagrangian/cfdemParticle path:
cd $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/$USER-$WM_PROJECT_VERSION/src/lagrangian/cfdemParticle

#- to compile the src type:
rmdepall
wclean
wmake libso

... I get a compilation error:

Hi All,

I am running a coupled CFDEM case, with time steps of around 10e-10 , and coupling of every 10 steps. the simultion stops half way through with below error, I appreciate any help.

Thanks

Thanks to all of the developers of CFDEM. I have been obtaining some encouraging results- http://youtu.be/mQN9WmHIW2c . One thing that was bothering me was dealing with pizza.py. It works well, but if it generates output at each coupling step, the dump file becomes enormous. I have attached two header files that output particle positions, radii, and velocities directly to Paraview readable file directories. Each folder has the same time stamp as the OpenFoam files. Thus, both pizza.py and foamToVTK become unnecessary.

Hi everyone,

I am a new user in CFDEM foram. I don't have any idea how to install it. Can anyone help me about the step by step procedure for its installation.

Hi Everyone,

I am running the settlingtestMPI example, where I get this error of time step continuity. I would appreciate any advise.

Hi

To get the particle sizes that I need, I am using LIGGGHTS in the "cgs" unit system, but OpenFOAM still works in the "si" unit system. I have converted all my LIGGGHTS values to work in the cgs system, however, when I combine the data in paraview, it is obvious that the two sets of data do not match up.

I presume that the coupling software uses the (dimensionless) numerical values as output by each programme, but does not check if they are of the same unit system? Therefore I want to create a conversion routine that converts the units during the coupling.

Hi,

I am trying to install cfdem coupling. I compiled OpenFOAM-1.7.1 from source. then I compiled 'liggghts-1p4p6' as library using 'make openmpi' and 'ln -s .....lmp_openmpi /usr/bin/liggghts' . The compilation of CFDEM src was successful. But when I try to compile the solver 'cfdemDolverPiso_shared', it gives the following error. Majorly "undefined reference to `Foam::cfdemCloud::cfdemCloud(Foam::fvMesh const&)'". Please see below. I was able to compile openFOAM solver 'icoFoam'. What may be the proble? any idea? or am i missing somethong obvious?

Hi everyone,

I came up to below error while compiling cfdem. I followed all instructions for coupled installations on ubantu 10.4 lts. I would appreciate any help.
thanks

Dear CFDEMers,

I would like to simulate the flow of a viscous (or even visco-elastic) fluid filled with glassfibres (about 1-4 mm in length, no spheres). Is that possible using OpenFOAM and LIGGGHTS? If not, are there any plans to include this feature?

Thank you in advance!
