Yade

Import VTK

Asked by Mithushan Soundaranathan

Hi,

I simulated the compaction process of spheres, and have saved them in VTK files along with files with info on interparticle forces.
I want do simulation on the compact (such liquid flow in pore structure, swelling of the particles), I don't want do compaction simulation each time before I do the liquid flow simulation.

Is there a method to import the VTK file of the compact into YADE, such I can do the liquid flow simulation on the compacts.

Best,
Mithu

Hello,

there is no predefined function to import vtk file into Yade.
But all needed data are in the file, so in principle it is possible to load it.

A better approach is to save not only vtk file, but also other more suitable file for loading.
E.g. export.text [1] and ymport.text [2] pair.

Cheers
Jan
