hi all,

can circular Discs be used instead of sphere in LAMMPS for 2d simulation

2

If you mean you are using atom_style sphere, then
you can use them in a 2d simulation, e.g. a granular

model (see examples/pour.in.pour.2d), but they
are still spherioids so far as their density/mass and

moments of inertia. Other than that there will be
no components of motion/rotation in z, so they are
disc-like.
