multisphere command

Warning

GPU support for this command has not been tested and may not work as expected.

Syntax

fix ID group-ID change/size/multisphere keywords values

ID, is documented in fix command.
change/size = style name of this fix command
zero or more keyword/value pairs may be appended

keyword/value pairs are documented in fix change/size command :l

Examples

fix grow all change/size/multisphere mass_change_rate 0.1 region grow_reg

Description

This fix adds mass and grows particles in the fix group, to mimic the effect of mass transfer, such as spray coating. See fix change/size for a detailed description. This fix additionally implements growth in a way so that it is applicable to both spherical and multi-sphere particles. I.e., the eligible particles (containing spherical and multi-sphere particles) are tallied, and growth is applied to both spherical and multi-sphere particles. This fix also adapts the mechanical properties of the multi-sphere particles (such as inertia tensor) accordingly.

Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop

This fix does not need to write data to binary restart files. None of the fix_modify options are relevant to this fix. No output is stored by this fix for access by various output commands. No parameter of this fix can be used with the start/stop keywords of the run command.

Restrictions

None

Coarse-graining information:

Using coarsegraining in combination with this command might lead to statistically different dynamics and system state. To the best knowledge of the developers, the cross-influence between this command and coarse-graining is unknown.

Default
