Changing the material of a particle

Asked by Christopher Stanbridge

Hi guys,

If I haven't said so already, thank you immensely for your prompt and effective responses to previous questions. This is a quick one.

I wish to load particles from a previous simulation into a new one using O.load. However, in the original simulation, the particles were made of a material with the name "aluminium" (not defined in the new simulation). As soon as the particles are imported, I wish to change their material to "steel", which is defined in the new simulation.

Can I just do this (without producing any errors)?
for b in O.bodies:
    b.mat = steel

Cheers,
Christopher Stanbridge

Hi Christopher,

yes, you can do this. But please have in mind, that the material is only
considered for new interactions and also that particle mass and inertia is
not affected by mere change of material.
cheers
