visualizing contact radius
Is it possible to visualize contact radius around a particle?
What I mean by this is that I have a particle of radius R and I have defined a contact radius of 1.2R. Now, during the simulation in the GUI, I only see the particle of radius R. I want to see a faint sphere (translucent sphere) of radius 1.2R engulfing the particle of radius R.
Is it possible to do this in EDEM GUI
Please let me know


Is it possible to visualize it in any newer version, not 2022.3?
Unfortunately, no.

Hi,
Although you can't visualise this you can import a particle template and visualise them that way, i.e. import a sphere (assuming your particles are spheres) of size 1.2R and then you can visualise these in the Analyst.

That's a great suggestion / workaround !
Hi Shyam
Unfortunately, that is not possible in the EDEM GUI.
