How to specify the position of a particle in EDEM

Hi,

I have created a cylinder in EDEM and I want to add a particle in the middle of the cylinder instead of placing a particle in a random position. Therefore, how do I specify the position of a particle in the particle factory?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi Chao,

    You can define the creation position of your particles in the factory settings in the creator. You first need to select a lattice settings between Cubic, BCC and FCC from the drop down menu shown below.

    Then define the settings of your lattice by clicking on the settings wheel. If you want to visualize your lattice to make easier how you are setting it up you can click on the top toolbar View > Activate Factories:Display Lattice.

    Further information on each lattice type can be found in the documentation. I hope that this helps.

    Kind regards
