Dear forum,
Is there a simple way to extract the particle-wall forces in a DEM (or CGP-DEM) simulation? I was thinking about monitoring reaction forces on particles situated on specific locations, but I was wondering if there is a more straightforward way of doing it. The same question applies in the case an STL internal wall is used.
Thank you for your help!
SInce version 22.3 MFiX can save force chain data as VTK files, does this help?
Dear Charles,
is any new implementation or development regarding this issue in the new versions since your last post?
I am also trying to compute the forces acting on the walls (torque).
Thank you for your time!
We are currently adding particle-wall force into the vtk files so it can be visualized. This will work with STL files. The plan is to release this capability with the 24.3 release (end of September 2024).
It sounds great Jeff, thank you for the information.
