reconstructPar crash with "denser" mesh

Submitted by evansmuts on Mon, 06/03/2013 - 15:00

Hi

I am not sure if this is the cause of the problem, but a few days ago I reduced my CFD cell size to be about 3 particle diameters. The simulation runs fine in parallel (12 cores), but when I run reconstructPar, I an error when it tries to reconstruct the lagrangian fields (e.g. caseDir/processor0/0.1/lagrangian/). ReconstructPar still runs fine with my original mesh.

I couldn't find any obvious fix after searching online, so I have posted the last bit of the screen output below to see if any one has had this problem as well. I am running OF v2.1.1. and CFDEM v2.5.3.

how to simulate 2D problems by CFDEM

Submitted by coffeeorme123 on Thu, 05/30/2013 - 10:33

hi, I am a new learner of CFDEM. there is a question puzzling me a lot. I want to do some 2D simulation via CFDEM, such as one-dimensional consolidation. But I fail and the error message indicates that :
ERROR: Could not create 3d grid of processors (procmap.cpp:65)

It seems that parCFDEMrun can only handle 3D problems,right? Or there is some tips for run 2D problems.

Could anybody help me??

thanks~~~~~~!!!

Make LIGGGHTS taking results from OpenFOAM

Submitted by a.carmona on Tue, 05/14/2013 - 18:52

Hi all,

I've have got some results from an OpenFOAM simulation (interFaom was the solver) and now I want to couple this results to LIGGGHTS, i.e. making LIGGGHTS use this fields (U, p) to calculate DEM.

I read about the coupling method but couldn't find a way to disable OpenFOAM cicle. If I can turn off this calculus i will be able to replace the fields for the ones that i've got from interFoam.

Does anyone know about how i can modify the scheme?

Thanks in advance!

Problem with compiling CFDEM coupling

Submitted by mgumulya on Tue, 05/07/2013 - 10:48

Hi,

I'm trying to CFDEMcoupling (using the command cfdemCompCFDEM), but I got the following error when trying to compile the solver and postprocessing utilities:

mkdir: cannot create directory `': No such file or directory

I've been looking at the bashrc files, and the environment variables seem to all be correct. I got the following message for cfdemSysTest:

*******************
system settings:
*******************
CFDEM_VERSION=PUBLIC
couple to OF_VERSION=2.1.x

CFDEM and wear on walls

Submitted by linnemann on Tue, 05/07/2013 - 10:27

In LIGGGHTS we have the example "chute_wear" which uses the Finnie model to estimate wear.

Is the same thing avaliable using CFDEM?

I havent been able to find any documentation and tutorials regarding CFDEM in this area.

It could be nice to have a simple elbow bend example of how wear and CFDEM is working together.

Another question.
Is it possible to use a velocity field from OpenFOAM in LIGGGHTS as a simple 1-way coupling?
