Extra settings for concave particles

concaveWeightList

list

In Aspherix and CFDEMcoupling concave particles are generally represented by an assembly of convex particles. When running simulations with concave particles, use particleShapeType "convex" and specify the contribution of each convex particle to the entire concave object manually using this setting.

Example

Assuming two concave particles, the first consisting of three, the second fo two convex particles, we have five convex particle types in total.

particleShapeType "convex";
concaveWeightList
(
    0.3  0.5  0.2  // contributions to first concave
    0.5  0.5       // contributions to second concave
);

Warning

The order of this list important: The weights for each convex particle must be given in the same order as used in Aspherix during the definition of the particle templates.
