I want to count the number of particle contacts.
I think it can be counted by using API, but I couldn't find how to do that.
Colud you tell me how to count the number of particle contacts? , or colud you tell me useful tutorial for tihs case?
Hi Masaki,
Are you interested in the number of particle-particle contacts or the number of contacts each particle has?
For the first point in EDEM you can plot/export this data. If you wanted to export it you can go to the Analyst > File > Export Results Data and choose Contacts > Number of contacts from the filters. Under type 1 and type 2 you can choose to select these as Particles and will give you the number of contacts for the type1-type2 elements chosen.
If you are interested in the number of contacts per particle this would be the Particle information > Coordination Number. The coordination number is the number of contacts per particle.
Thank you for your reply.
I'm interested in the number of contacts per particle.
Actually, I'd like to apply body force to particle according to the number of contacts per particle.
I think it can be by using API, but I couldn't find how to do that.
Colud you tell me how to use contact infoamtion of the particle in API? , or colud you tell me useful tutorial for tihs
case?
