[lammps-users] Benchmark of granular flow

Dear lammps users,

I was trying to run LAMMPS benchmark file for granular flow that is
"in.chute" file in bench folder. It was running properly for less
number of time steps, but as I was increasing the number of time steps
to around 3000, my computer got hanged and I have to turn off my
computer. It was giving me the same problem again and again.Time step
that i am using is 0.0001. I tried with both single processor and
double processor. Can anyone tell me why is it not working for larger
number of time steps.
Thanking you

are you certain that it is not your computer that is at fault?
does it only happen to granular flow inputs or other as well?
if lammps is able to make your computer crash hard whenever you
run something for a longer time, then you may have a cooling
problem or defective hardware.
