Output the damping force component from Hertz-Mindlin contact model

Hi,

Is there a way to output the damping force component from EDEM? The current normal force output is the sum of the elastic and damping force and I don't find any other options to output the two contributions separately.

Best regards,

Hao

Hi Hao,

The topic is discussed here - https://support.altair.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=7c2a4e31db4d91d0cfd5f6a4e2961990&view_source=searchResult

The only way would be to write a custom model with the damping on/off. A starting point for that would be the Contact Model API tutorial - https://community.altair.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0037690
