Dear all
I am converting Liggghts dump files to vtk format, but there is a problem that OPENFoam and Liggghts scale in Paraview are not the same.
the error is:

Hi everyone!

Thank you to all that have helped me install LIGGGHTS and CFDEM recently on my personal laptop. Now I am trying to install the same on my university's cluster. Obviously being a lowly postgrad student I am not on the sudo'er list, therefore I am not able to install things via git etc, therefore the I'm not quite able to follow the instructions online for LIGGGHTS and CFDEM compilation. I am able to rsync anything onto my home directory however

Hi everyone,

I have a trouble with the following code:

Executing command: 'set region total property/atom Temp 600.000000 '
set region total property/atom Temp 600.000000
ERROR: Set command with no atoms existing (../set.cpp:106)

can anyone help me?

Hallo,

I have a question about the Voidfraction model divided. In my simulation particles start to rotate when they attach on the edge of a surface. Does this rotation have to do with the divided approach (e.g.. di Felice drag)?

Particles are split into pieces as the documentation said. Does this lead to rotation if a particle is located in two CFD cells? Or are only translational motions calculated?

Thanks for your help. Best wishes,

Johannes

Hello, I'm facing this problem with the new version of CFDEM Coupling.
I'm attaching the log file of the simulation, but the error starts as:

Hi,

can someone explain a bit how to use smoothing model (constDiffSmoothing). I have read Docs about it but I think there is something else to be done beside just defining it in coplingProperties dictionary. I also added sSmoothField and vSmoothField to initial time directory and defined zeroGradient boundary conditions but after that I get an error:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
keyword sSmoothField is undefined in dictionary ".../CFD/system/fvSolution.solvers".

I am using 2.3 version of CFDEM and cfdemSolverPiso.

Hi all,

Just a quick question. Is BeetstraDrag implemented in the current CFDEM? I can see enrties in the couplingProperties file in the tutorial, but couldn't find the source code. Do I need to build it myself or it is hidden somewhere?

Cheers,

Dear All,

I am following the installation of CFDEMcoupling v3.X from: https://www.cfdem.com/media/CFDEM/docu/CFDEMcoupling_Manual.html#.

When I type the command "cfdemSysTest", I get this message:

Hi CFDEM users,

I am looking for a solution to extract individual hydraulic forces, e.g., drag and viscous forces acting on particles when coupling. The current compute f_dragforce will result in the total fluid force.

Can anyone advise how to do this ?

Thanks,

Regards,

Hi everyone,

I am trying to run the CFDEM Tutorial tests after installing CFDEM with OpenFOAM-4.x and LIGGGHTS-3.6.0.

I followed the instructions for installing LIGGGHTS in the link below, because I was interested in using Voro++ with it:
