Hi
I want to do some post-procession with H5 files of EDEM, For example: the value of contact vectors. Are there any descriptions of these values?
Hi Raheem,
The contact vector is the vector between the contact point of two elements and the CoM of the element.
The info in the file accessed by Python is the same as that in the Analyst, you can see a brief description here:

Hi Stephen,
Thanks a lot, now I calculated the contact vector with the CoM of the sphere particles.
Are these two values calculated from the Com and directly retrieve from the contact vector 1(or 2)?
By the way, the value of contact vector1 and contact vector 2 should be the opposite number I think, but from the h5 file, it seems not as I think.
Regards!
Raheem
