Calculate the number of broken bonds in Cpm mat

Asked by Akm

Hi,

I am trying to calculate the number of bonds broken at each iteration in my simulation. I am using the cpm material and tried to plot it using the concept where I check if 'iscohesive==True ' but it doesn't work. Is there any other way to get these numbers?

Many thanks,
Arun

Why doesn't it work?

please be more specific (ideally post a MWE [1])

> Is there any other way to get these numbers?

no, because "the concept where I check if 'iscohesive==True'" is the correct one

cheers

Hi Jan and Robert,

My script is pretty lengthy and has a lot of imports. So let me just stick to those commands where I calculate the bond breakage statistics.

I do not get any change in the cohesive bond numbers even when I can see particles flying after bond breakage.

###At the start of the program
global cohesive_count
cohesive_count=0
for i in O.interactions:
    if hasattr(i.phys, 'isCohesive'):
        if i.phys.isCohesive == True:
            cohesive_count+=1

###Inside a Pyrunner:
    presentcohesive_count = 0
    for i in O.interactions:
        if hasattr(i.phys, 'isCohesive'):
            if i.phys.isCohesive == 1:
                presentcohesive_count+=1
    noncohesive_count= cohesive_count-presentcohesive_count
    print (noncohesive_count)

Have a look at Law2.omegaThreshold [1]. Set it to a value < 1 to actually break any interactions (currently the interactions are not broken even if they transmit almost no forces)
