Hi,
I want to fix the displacement of the particle in my EDEM simulation, but I couldn't find how to do that.
Is there any way? Could you tel me that?
Fixing the displacement can be quite complex as in EDEM we return forces and torques to the particles, the displacement is then automatically set based on the time-step and resultant force, there isn't a way to overwrite this directly.
In the EDEM Creator > Physics section there is a "particle limits" option where you can set all particles to zero velocity which maybe suitable in your case, you can't however select specific particles.
Otherwise you can look at the EDEM API. IF you go to the Knowledge Base > Tutorials and search for "EDEM API" in the search box and filter for the EDEM product this will show the EDEM tutorials on the API, the API allows you to customise forces and return specific forces to set particles to counter the motion.
