How to make particle disappear in EDEM

Johnson

I am running a simulation in which I am dropping particles on an impact plate, and they are traveling or jumping inside a box partitioned into bins.

Please, how can I make a particle disappear from the bin after it has settled inside the bin so that they will not interfere with subsequent particles that will be dropped inside the bin?

Thank you

Hi Johnson,

Looks like to me to your problem to be addressed with API.

I.e you have to write a function in such a way that once the particle velocity is zero or low particle to be get deleted is the one way and if you don't want to write a code and want to use only GUI then manually you have to understand at what time particle comes to steady state or zero velocity stop the simulation and reduce the domain in such a way that particle should disappear and continue to run for small time period and export the deck and close the existing deck and open the exported deck adjust the domain and continue to run the simulation in multiple times.

Hope this helps.
