[lammps-users] I want to create a conical indenter tool

Hi All,

I sent my part of the project. I want to create a conical instead of the sphere

I want to create a conical indenter tool, instead of the sphere geometry. Could you help me with this?

dimension 3
boundary p p p

units metal
atom_style atomic

creat geometry#

lattice fcc 3.615 orient x 1 0 0 orient y 0 1 0 orient z 0 0 1

region box block -100 100 -40 40 -40 40
create_box 2 box

mass 1 70.0
mass 2 12.0
lattice fcc 3.615 orient x 1 0 0 orient y 0 1 0 orient z 0 0 1
region cuatoms block -40 40 0 10 -10 10
create_atoms 1 region cuatoms

lattice diamond 3.57
region diamondatoms sphere 0 60 0 19 units box
region diamond block 0 20 0 10 0 10
#x y z R
create_atoms 2 region diamondatoms

lattice fcc 3.615 orient x 1 0 0 orient y 0 1 0 orient z 0 0 1

Best regards

As was already pointed out to you, you should use a “cone” region then. For details on the syntax for that, please see the docs for the region command.
