Hi all,

OpenFOAM 3.0.x works without any problems. Furthermore, my fcdemSysTest looks o.k.:

I make the changes in /.bashrc according the tutorials. When I open a new terminal, it shows me:

using default CFDEM_ADD_LIBS_DIR=/home/cae/CFDEM/CFDEMcoupling-PUBLIC-3.0.1/src/lagrangian/cfdemParticle/etc/addLibs_universal
using default CFDEM_ADD_LIBS_NAME=additionalLibs_3.0.1
!!! ERROR !!!: CFDEM_ADD_LIBS_DIR/CFDEM_ADD_LIBS_NAME=/home/cae/CFDEM/CFDEMcoupling-PUBLIC-3.0.1/src/lagrangian/cfdemParticle/etc/addLibs_universal/additionalLibs_3.0.1 does not exist.
make new dirs /home/cae/CFDEM/cae-PUBLIC-3.0.1 ? (y/n)

As noted in the online documentation:

I noticed that even I set in controlDict as below:

startFrom startTime;

startTime 0.05;

stopAt endTime;

endTime 0.1;

deltaT 0.001;

writeControl adjustableRunTime;

writeInterval 0.01;

The folder for time=0.1 will not be generated. Does anyone can tell me how to get it?

Hi, everyone

I face a error when I used the command Fix insert/rate/region, and I don't know what is the reason, anyone could give me some suggestions?

Coupling...
Starting up LIGGGHTS
Executing command: 'run 5 '
run 5
ERROR: Fix insert/rate/region (id ins): 'start' step can not be before current step (../fix_insert.cpp:573)

I list the input as belowe

echo both

Hi everyone,

I have a problem as below,
In a 4 seconds long CFDEM run, I'd like a liggghts fix command (a fix addforce command) to be executed once at two seconds. Does anyone know how to realize it?
I have tried the liggghts command execute in CFDEM, but failed.
Any suggestion is appreciated.

regards,

Hi all,

I installed OpenFOAM 3.0.x and compiled the latest version of LIGGGHTS with cfdemCompLIG without any problems. The cfdemSysTest looks as follows:
