CFDEM®coupling - User Forum

Dear all
I want to use liggghtscommands to implement a movement to a stl wall,
I have used this execute command:
executeProps1
{
command
(
fix
moveFront
all
move
slash
mesh
mesh
frontwall
linear
"0.0005" "0." "0."
);
runFirst off;
runLast off;
runEveryCouplingStep on;
runEveryWriteStep off;
}
But I have got error:
fix moveFront all move / mesh mesh frontwall linear 0.0005 0. 0.

Dear all,

Recently I am planing to install CFDEM in my college cluster, the system for which is Redhat 7.3. However, I am not familiar with such a system and don't know where to start my installation. Have anyone ever installed CFDEM in Redhat successfully? Do you have any guide about installation in Redhat? It wiil be of great help if anyone can help me, many thanks.

I also attach the email my colleagus sent me about this installation, I need to install many things, but I have no guide about this.

Dear all,

I want to investigate a problem about soil particles movement. First, in LIGGGHTS, I applied six stl. mesh wall to exert confining pressure on a cube specimen of soil particles. Then I applied CFDEM to scour the soil particles and see whether the particles can be removed under the effect of seepage flow.

Hallo,
I want to insert particles with a mass rate of 1e-6kg/s to my computational domain. I tried to do so by using the following command:

fix ins nve_group insert/stream seed 5330 distributiontemplate pdd1 &
massrate 1.0e-6 start 50000 overlapcheck yes all_in no vel constant 0.0 -10.0 0.0 &
insertion_face partIn extrude_length 200e-6

Hello!

I'm new to CFDEM and I'm trying to run a simulation of a turbulent flow on a pipe with particles inside. However, when I ran the LIGGGHTS script it didn't insert the particles at all. Does anyone have any idea of why is this happening?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I have tried using the contact form to inquire about an academic license, to gain access to the coupled simulation of flow in a partly rotating geometry, with no success. Any clue how to proceed to get a hold of someone?

Dear all
I want to know is there any way to apply a hydrostatic pressure to stl walls of LIGGGHTS program?
I am working on a coupled cfd-dem model and I need to add the hydrostatic pressure of fluid to stl walls in dem side,
Any help is very appreciated.

Hi,

I am simulating a fluidized bed column using CFDEM. Few months ago I was solving the problem with the solverIB, using a cylindrical block structured mesh. When I tried to change the solver (to solverPiso), I started having problems to use the same mesh I was using before. The solverPiso works fine when I construct a square-base column. But when I try to use the cylindrical mesh, the solverPiso presents problems. I already double checked the mesh, and since I was already using it to solve the case with the solverIB, I don't think it is bad constructed.

Hello, everyone. I just installed CFDEM on ubuntu 14 according to https://www.cfdem.com/media/CFDEM/docu/CFDEMcoupling_Manual.html#install...
After command 'cfdemCompCFDEMall', I inputted ' cfdemTestTUT' and things went well because I got a picture of a curve. However, when I went back to terminal, I found some words like this:

Hello, could someone help me to understand why boundary condition in phiIB field for the cfdemSolverIB solver uses zerogradient instead of constant zero? I am taking as example the twospheresglow tutorial.
Probably there is a basic answer, but I cannot figure out why.
Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Paula
