Hi,

 

I was wondering whether it is possible to simulate the behaviour of granular material with acusolve, and if so, if anyone could give me a tip on how to do it :)/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />

 

thanks in advance!

    AcuTrace does support particle tracking, but it is meant for 'countable' particles, so a relatively small volume occupied by the particles compared to the fluid.  It's not suited for granular flow.

    Thank you very much. Does this mean that AcuSolve is not capable of simulating granular flow? Do you know of any way around this?
