CFDEM®coupling - User Forum

Hello everyone,

I am a new CFDEM coupling, please forgive me if I post a stupid question.

After installing CFDEM coupling, I try to run some cases in tutorial. Most of the case show errors:

Finalising parallel run
rm: cannot remove '*.png': No such file or directory
/home/zang/CFDEM/zang-PUBLIC-3.0.x/run/packedBedTemp/parCFDDEMrun.sh: line 45: octave: command not found

and the image viewer say: No images found in 'file:///home/user/CFDEM/user-PUBLIC-3.0.x/run/packedBedTemp/CFD/octave/cfdemSolverPisoSTM_pressureDrop.png'.

Hi,

I'm running a fluidized bed using cfdemsolverIB because my particles are too big (6 mm) for the mesh I need to solve the fluid phase. I have around 30 thousand particles into my system. When I try to run the case with few particles, the simulation doesn't present any problem. However, when I put all the 30 thousand particles into the system, it gives a Fatal Error after few timesteps. The error is:

Hello,
During the installation of CFDEM coupling through step by step method in online documentation, I have faced with some problems.
In this part, "Compile LIGGGHTS® and CFDEM®coupling" from online documentation/installation there are some commands such as:
cfdemCompLIG
cfdemCompCFDEMsrc
cfdemCompCFDEmsol
cfdenCompCFDEMuti

Although I have tried to perform them in terminal, the two last commands were not performed properly. You can see the problem as following:

Dynamical variations on parameters in a CFD-DEM simulation

Hello. I have a question about the installation for Ubuntu.

I'm installing CFDEM®coupling following the documentation(https://www.cfdem.com/media/CFDEM/docu/CFDEMcoupling_Manual.html#install...).

When I set environment variables and paths, I added the STANDARD block to the end of my bashrc.

Hallo,
I have a question regarding the ErgungTestMPI_restart tutorial case of CFDEM.
In in.liggghts_restart the file liggghts.restartCFDEM is read: read_restart ../DEM/post/restart/liggghts.restartCFDEM
Where is this restart file actually generated when running the case? I cannot find any code in in.ligghts_init, in.liggghts_run, ... where this file is written out.

Dear All,

Dear all
I just intalled the CFDEM and I try to run the tutorial case- fillCyliner, but the terminals shows that I can't start the paraview.It says:
trying to start paraview...
./Allrun.sh: line 81: /home/daye/software/ParaView-4.3.1-Linux-64bit/bin/paraview: No such file or directory
And the detail is:
daye@daye:~/CFDEM/CFDEMcoupling-PUBLIC-3.0.1/tutorials/cfdemPostproc/fillCylinder$ ./Allrun.sh

Hello,

while running periodicChannel tutorial I found some results I'm not able to explain:
the velocity of the fluid has a value of up to 10.19 m/s where the largest part is the x component.
The initial conditions in the CFD part are 0 or zeroGradient for all boundaries. Gravity is acting in z-direction. Inlet and outlet are defined as cyclic.
In DEM there is a particle velocity of 1 m/s in z-direction.

Doe's anybody has an explanation for this behavior?

Later I want to modify this case to some kind of cavity with some filtration at the bottom.

Hallo,
when using parCFDDEMrun.sh to continue a parallelzied calculation (without reconstruction) old results in the processorx folders are deleted. Is it possible to turn this off?
