Yade

YADE-OpenFOAM Coupling

Asked by Ed Carlos Alves Rocha

I have 2 doubts:

1) My first doubt: I would like export the results about the CFD simulation with OpenFoam to Yade Dem, I talk about the one way simulation, where the OpenFoam export the results to Yade Dem. Is it possible if I use the ParaView to export the results? Or I can export using the OpenFoam?

2) My Second doubt is about the 2 ways simulation, where we have the Yade - OpenFoam coupling model. How can I creat this simulation?

Thanks,
ED

Hi Ed,

1) if you export data form OpenFOAM, you can do whatever you want with them in Yade. I would guess simple text files would be the best option..
I didn't get your point with Paraview, could you please explain it a bit more?

2) I don't know OpenFOAM almost at all, but if I am not mistaken, it has also Python interface. Then you can combine both softwares in Python. So in principle it is possible, the specific usage would very much depends on your requirements..

cheers
Jan

Hi, I would add a comment here: if your question is implicitely assuming an
existing link between yade and openfoam following Chen's PhD better forget
it, this coupling has not been released. The link should not be too
difficult to make again though, as Jan suggests.
