Is it possible to use EDEMpy to see the contour of a coordination number?

Hello, everyone.
I'm looking for the coordination number contour in the simulated domain.
Could you please advise me in this matter?


Regards,
Fatemeh

    Hi Fatemeh,

    It is possible to compute the particle coordination numbers from the surface to surface contacts data with EDEMpy (take a look at the edempy.timestep.SSContact module) but it might be easier to directly export the data from EDEM along with particle positions and produce a contour from those using matplotlib surf3D,  myavi or similar.

    To export the data go to EDEM Analyst->File->Export and create queries for the attributes shown below:

    You can also directly colour the particles by coordination number:
