ESyS-Particle

particle-packing for 2 different particle size only

Asked by Jessica

Hello everyone!!

I was wondering if there is a particle packer present in ESyS for only two different particle size at random position.

Thank You and GodBless you Always!!!

Hi Jessica,

ESyS-Particle does not have a particle packer for bidisperse packings containing particles of only two different sizes. Should you write or find such an algorithm, it would be relatively simple to create an ESyS-Particle input geometry file (similar to that produced by LSMGenGeo) to import the packing into a simulation. If you would like more information on ESyS-Particle's geometry file format, I'd be happy to provide it.

Cheers,

Dion.

Hello once again!

Apologies for digging up this very old thread. I just wanted to add something to the question.

Suppose I do want to implement an algorithm that follows a specific size distribution or one that generates only 2 particle sizes for that matter, how do I implement this? Do I need to generate .cpp and .h files, or edit the pre-built codes? If so, is there a set of guidelines that I can learn from to be able to do this?

I enjoy working with Esys particle and so I want to learn more about its internal workings and how I can fit it for my purposes. My coding abilities though are quite limited. It would be great help if you could point me in the right direction.

Thank you!
