When saving data in EDEM, is it possible to skip particular timesteps?

Hello every body,
I want to save data every timesteps. I need the data of collision for the post processing.
Is it possible to save data every time step and skip some of them?


Regards,
Fatemeh

    I believe you're looking for this:

     

    Target Save interval allows you to control saving interval.

    If more control is needed, you can run the simulation until some point with a larger interval, stop your run, and restart with a smaller interval, and so on.

    Hi Fatemeh,

     

    In addition if you use 'track collisions ' you do get the collisions data calculated per time-step but it gets saved to the file each save interval.

     

    Otherwise we are currently looking at updating the data export options with EDEM so that some data can be exported during simulation to reduce the overall file sizes.

    Regards

    Stephen
