Why can't I export the XML file in my post-processing anymore? I need to modify some data.

I want to use the volume packing feature to generate uniformly distributed, non-contacting particles. When I don’t set the contact radius for the particles, it's easy to generate uniformly distributed, non-contacting particles (with all particles moving at low speeds).

However, when I set the contact radius for the particles, the generated particles often end up in contact with each other (some particles have high velocities).

Therefore, I want to modify the data using an XML file. First, I will set the contact radius to 0, use volume packing to generate the particles, and then modify the contact radius through the XML file.

😔

Can someone help me?

Hi, the XML was an unsupported feature which was removed in 2024.1.

The EDEM files can be edited with a HDF5 editor (such as Python) but it's best to use EDEMpy:

thank you very much

Hi, could you provide some specific steps or details on how to actually edit? I'm still not clear on the exact editing process.

Hi,

We have a guide here which gives some input on editing:
