Hi,

I want to create a layered material block, with first a bottom layer of BulkMaterial1 1-spherical particles, following with a top layer of BulkMaterial2 2-spherical particles. However, I can only save a material block of 1 bulk material, not the 2 combined. Is there any way to do this differently?

Greetings, GertJan van Selm

    Hi,

     

    With the block factory function we can only currently take one particle type.  This has been added to the product feature request list for review.

    If its for a material block rather than 'block factory' then I would say the best approach is to use a more traditional 'rainfall' method to create two dynamic factories and create the whole material bed as one with the layers.


    Regards
