Force Chains analysis in the post-processing

Chao

Hello,

I would like to ask questions about the force chains analysis in post-processing.

I was using the EDEM to do the simulation of compacting, and I obtained the contact force network in the post-processing, the picture is presented below

  

However, if I want to analyze only strong force chains or weak force chains, how to extract the target force chains from the contact force network, the figure below (just an example) is what I want to extract for analysis.

Is there any way to implement it in EDEM? Many thanks in advance for your help!

Kind regards,

Chao

Hi Chao,

 

You can do by using hide out of bounds will help to display only the with in limits particles.

i.e for example in below picture shows that want to display particle total force within range of 0 to 10N.

Particles total force <5N and >10 N won't be displayed. Hope this hepls.

 

 

Thanks,
