Dear Experts,
We have encountered several questions while using the Energy Loss module to calculate particle collision energy loss and would greatly appreciate your guidance.
1. Criteria for Contact vs. Collision Detection
We do not fully understand the specific criteria employed in the code to distinguish between "contact" and "collision." Could you please clarify how these two phenomena are differentiated within the program?
2. Definitions and Relationship of Energy Loss Parameters
We have observed that EDEM's post-processing module also enables the export of a "Contact Energy Loss" parameter. Could you please explain whether this parameter represents a subset of (or encompasses) "Collision Energy Loss," or whether they constitute two distinct physical quantities?
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
Best regards,
[Yu YIN]
