How to make a compact two-dimension model

Asked by zhongw

Dear All

I want to make a two-dimension simulation about concrete, but I didn't know how to make a two-dimension box of particle with geometry , just like the example script smooth box.py.So I use the fuction RandomBoxPacker and set z-dimension at zero.But when I look into the model by Paraview, I found that the model isn't compact enough and some sphere is suspended without contact with any other sphere. How could I make a compact two-dimension model? Is there any other function can make it ?

With kind regards,

Zhongwen

Hi ZhongWen,

It is best to use GenGeo to create 2D geometries. You will need to use the MNTable2D(..) for this.

It should be noted that the developers no longer support in-simulation geometry creation. This is largely because gengeo provides much greater functionality now and the packing algorithm of GenGeo has been improved.

Cheers,

Dion
