pp.getForce() NRotSphere() terminates the simulation

Asked by Jiadun Liu

Dear All,

When I use getForec for the NRotSphere I have the following problem.

gle$ mpirun.mpich -np 2 esysparticle bingle.py
0 -4.999 4.999 -4.999

This typically refers to a problem with your application.
Please see the FAQ page for debugging suggestion

The following is the simple bingle.py code where close to the end of the simulation I have added a while loop.

sim.initNeighbourSearch(
   particleType="NRotSphere",

#specify the spatial domain for the simulation:

sim.setSpatialDomain(domain)

#add the first particle to the domain:

particle.setLinearVelocity(Vec3(1.0,-1.0,1.0))

particle.setLinearVelocity(Vec3(-1.0,-1.0,-1.0))

#specify the type of interactions between colliding particles:

      name = "elastic_repulsion",
      normalK = 10000.0,
      scaling = True
   )

#Execute the simulation:

while (i <=10):
 sim.runTimeStep()
 ParticleList = sim.getParticleList()
 for pp in ParticleList:
  print pp.getId(),pp.getPosition(),pp.getForce()
 i += 1
sim.exit()

Hi Jiadun,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I've reproduced the bug using your supplied bingle.py script and found the source of the problem. It has been fixed in rev. 1186 of the ESyS-Particle trunk. Upgrading to the latest development release should fix the problem.

Cheers,

Dion
