Hi all,
I am trying to do a 2D granular simulation where I try to tightly pack some spherical particles in a box by applying some pressure. Even after this tight packing, I want to apply further pressure and derive a stress-strain relationship. Due to some reason, I am able to witness only small deformations in VMD even though my output file shows otherwise. Also, I tried to compute pressure but my output file does not return such a value. Any suggestions are welcome.
Here is a sample code.
Initialization

boundary f f p

newton off off
communicate single vel yes

fix force all indent 3 plane y 0.05 lo units box

If anyone can suggest where to find sample granular simulations, that would be great.
Thanks,
