particle position data

Asked by Jinny Kim

Hi all,

I have a question on the data for z position of particles.
I am trying to save z position for all particles in the simulation by using the code below and pyrunner.

for p in range(p_num):
       f1.write("%d\t%e\t%e\t%e\t%e\t%e\t%e\t%e\t%e\t%e\t%e\t%e\n" % (pkdID[p][0],p_mass[p][0],p_radii[p][0],x_pos[p][0],y_pos[p][0],z_pos[p][0],x_vel[p][0],y_vel[p][0],z_vel[p][0],x_ang[p][0],y_ang[p][0],z_ang[p][0]))
   f1.close()

I've attached some part of data for one particle.

-57.5695100000000 -59.8987800000000 -62.2748500000000 -64.6975900000000 -67.1669000000000 -69.6826200000000 -72.2446200000000 -74.8527100000000 -77.5067100000000 -80.2064300000000 0.155653600000000 -82.9516500000000 -85.7421600000000 -88.5777200000000 -91.4581100000000 -94.3830700000000 -97.3523800000000 -100.365800000000 -103.423100000000 -106.524000000000 -109.668400000000 0.155660900000000 -112.855900000000 -116.086600000000 -119.360100000000

Here, the z position decreases. It makes sense because there is only force, gravity with a negative z direction. but it looks like having dumb data like 0.155653600000000. Do you have any ideas why I got these weird data? Also, these weird data look like having the same frequency for all particles.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Hello,
please provide a complete MWE [1], otherwise we can just guess..
thanks

Hello, Jan Stránský,

I am sorry for this inconvenience. I have attached the simple version of my simulation code below. It also have the same issue with mine.... It looks like having weird data at iteration of 14, 25, 36, 47 .... (I am using Yade 1.20.0.)

Hello,
I have tried your code (using Yade 2018.02b), but found no "weird data" (did not try too much, thought).. Please be more specific (I don't want to check 2500 lines of data file to find one discrepancy :-)
It would help, if you could create a MWE [1], i.e. minimal from point of both code and simulation (number of particles, running time).
cheers
Jan
