liggghtsCommandModel readLiggghtsData command¶

Syntax¶

Defined in liggghtsCommmands dictionary.

liggghtsCommandModels
(
   readLiggghtsData
);
readLiggghtsDataProps0
{
    startIndex scalar1;
    verbose;
    exactTiming;
    filePath
    (
        "word"
    );
    startTime    scalar2;
    endTime      scalar3;
    timeInterval scalar4;
}

• scalar1 = start index of data file to be read; the index is appended to filePath

• verbose = (default off) flag for verbose run

• exactTiming = flag indicating that start time should be kept even during a coupling interval

• filePath = path to LIGGGHTS data file. Each word starts in a new line; special characters, i.e. dots and slashes, need special treatment (e.g. dotdot will be replaced by “..”)

• scalar2 = start reading at this time

• scalar3 = end reading at this time

• scalar4 = repeat reading at this time interval while increasing the data file index

Examples¶

liggghtsCommandModels
(
   readLiggghtsData
);
readLiggghtsDataProps0
{
    startIndex 0;
    exactTiming;
    filePath
    (
        dotdot
        slash
        DEM
        slash
        packing.data
    );
    startTime    0.002;
    endTime      0.012;
    timeInterval 0.001;
}

Description¶

The readLiggghtsData liggghtsCommandModel can be used to read LIGGGHTS data files into LIGGGHTS during runtime of a coupled simulation. This corresponds to the read_data command in LIGGGHTS with the add option, i.e. read in particles are added to existing particles.
