How do I keep a circle of particles around a circle motionless?

Hello,

please read [1].

Next time, try to make the question standalone. If it is related to another question, please at least reference it, e.g. here it is [2].
The questions and answers are there also for others, who may search them in future and find their answers.
As such, the question "How do I keep a circle of particles around a circle motionless?" makes no sense.

To keep one particle "b" motionless, block all its degrees of freedom:
b.state.blockedDOFs = "xyzXYZ" # [3,4]

To select relevant particles, use similar code as proposed in [2]

Cheers
Jan

I know the code to keep the particles stationary, but I don't know how to use these codes. As in this example, keep the particles stationary on a circle with a center of (0.05, 1, 1) and a radius of 1

Hello,

please read [1] carefully and follow the instructions.

> I know the code to keep the particles stationary, but I don't know how to use these codes.

then why not to mention this? "How do I keep ... particles ... motionless?" suggest rather the opposite.

what is "the code" and "these codes"?

If [2] is solved, I see no problem in my answer #1. It is essentially the same, just using "b.state.blockedDOFs=..." instead of "O.bodies.erase(b.id)"

Again, to get a good (and quick) answer, first provide a good question.
If you want others to make effort solving your problem, it is much better/motivating/... to show your effort (formulating a good question) first.

Cheers
