movment along z axis whiles blockedDOFs= zXY

Asked by Mahdeyeh

Dear All,
I have a problem in simulating clumps spherical particles' gravity deposition in 2D. I use:
        b.state.blockedDOFs='zXY'
        b.state.angMom[2]=0
        b.state.angVel[2]=0
        b.state.vel[2]=0

to fix all the particles in Z plane. But I found that, particle moves along Z axis and when check it in simulation inspection window (in Bodies), I see blockedDOFs is without any value and linear velocity for Z has value.

Why particle along Z axis move? how do I fix this problem?
Many thanks for your help.

Hi,

I guess that when bodies are clumped you have to constrain the clump, not the individual bodies. Your condition required material to be Dolomite, however, only individual bodies has this property.

Try to change your loop starting in line 80 to:

for b in O.bodies:
    if b.isClump:
        b.state.blockedDOFs='zXY'
        b.state.angMom[2]=0
        b.state.angVel[2]=0
        b.state.vel[2]=0

Cheers,
Karol
