Is anyone using API models on linux system I mean how to create .so files other files

Narendra Kumar Gadwal

I am getting error attached while running on super computer using xming GUI.

I think .so file is missing for linux.

I am trying to replicate Tavares breakage model using API and same model I want to apply to my custom grinding project.

Thanks

Hi,

To compile code to Linux libraries you can find the instructions in the help:

 

https://help.altair.com/edem/topics/programming_guide/compiling_api_models_to_libraries_t.htm

The Linux section is just over half way down the page above.

Hi

Thank you for the reply.

Could you please let em know how to create the source files like .cpp .h

Thanks,

Narendra

Hello Narendra,

You create the source files (cpp and h) using Microsoft Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code.  Starting from scratch can be a challenging task especially if you are new to programming.  Thus, I would recommend having a look at the API tutorials available on the Altair Community (for example EDEM API Tutorial 1: Particle Replacement) to get the already defined cpp and h files.  Once you are familiar with the structure of the files then you can modify them to address your specific needs.  There are also helpful videos on our YouTube channel that you can watch to understand how to modify / compile API models Intro to EDEM API – Part 1 to 3

Kind Regards,

Hi,

How i can access the .cpp and .h files of breakage in the Tavares breakage model?

I downloaded the entire zip but i couldn't find. Could you please provide those files.

Thanks,

Narendra

And also when I am running simulations on linux GUI i am getting the error like this. How to solve this.

 

Thanks,

Hello Narendra,

I do not believe that the .cpp and .h files are made publicly available.  You can access the already compiled .so file to run the Tavares breakage model with the API here, you need to download the API zipped folder: https://community.altair.com/community/en/tavares-breakage-model-in-edem-overview-and-download?sys_kb_id=4105e184dbe94190cfd5f6a4e296197c&id=kb_article_view&sysparm_rank=2&sysparm_tsqueryId=3d5331eb97378650da583b47f053af49,

or you can use the built-in version of the Tavares breakage model in EDEM.

But all other examples have them in their folder.

Then how can i understand what it is doing exactly I mean in the code.

Thanks,

Hi Narendra,

The source code is not made available due to the proprietary methods used to implement the Tavares breakage model. Rest assured; the implementation of the model has been done with  the collaboration of Dr. Tavares.  To understand how the model is working I would suggest that you review the Model_Documentation.zip file that is included in the link I shared above.  You can also find information on the Tavares breakage model in the EDME Help documentation: https://help.altair.com/EDEM/topics/creator_tree_physics/the_tavares_ufrj_breakage_model_r.htm
