Granular Flow

Purpose:

Granular Packing and Easy Setup for LS-Dyna to simulate the packing behavior.

Function:

Define Equipment: Define a PART as a receiver of the falling granular flow, with SECTION and MAT.

Define Particle Genre: Define a PART as a particle type, with SECTION and MAT.

Define Maker: Define a virtual geometry, such as BOX, CYLINDER, PRISM, to pack the initial granular flow.

Define Maker-ParticleGenre: Define the relationship between Maker and the Particle Genre it contains, such as the amount, percentage, distribution...

Define Contact: Define contact between the Equipment, Maker, Particles.

Define Kinematic: Define BOUNDARY_PRESCRIBED_MOTION.

Define Control: Define CONTROL parameters.

Sample:

200MM : a sample to simulate the falling process of 200 packed particles.
