Hello Everyone,
Is it possible to create a prism with triangular cross section in Lammps? The existing prism command creates a parallelepiped topology. I would appreciate it if you could please give suggestions and share your comments.
Thank you very much.
You can create region geometries by combining primitives, e.g. you can create a triangular prism through the union of a block region with two plane regions.
Thank you very much for your suggestion.

a triangular prism is the intersection of 5 plane regions:
region box block -100 100 -100 100 -100 100
create_box 1 box
region a plane 0 0 0 1 0 0
region b plane 0 0 0 0 1 0
region c plane 30 30 0 -1 -1 0
region bottom plane 0 0 -20 0 0 1
region top plane 0 0 20 0 0 -1
region triangle_prism intersect 5 a b c bottom top
mass 1 1

Thank you for the feedback. This really helps.
