Sir,
I'm using LAMMPS software to simulate metal cutting process and was
getting some kind of errors.
my basic idea is to move a steel/copper tool over a copper work piece
and perform the operation of mill/ turn/ shear at a particular
velocity and observe the chip formation and compute the various forces
and stresses acting on each atom and on the whole system.
I'm totally new to LAMMPS and molecular dynamics. i have written the
code after reading the user manual, but i know there may be some
errors in it. kindly help me in this regard.
apart from the above mentioned, i'm not able to understand the Axis
system used in lammps {whether it is XYZ (wherein XY plane being the
horizontal and YZ being vertical) or ZXY (wherein ZX plane being the
horizontal and XY being vertical) ? }
also, other than that i had problem setting up the tool with two
opposite faces tilted towards each other at an angle and the angle of
inclination is a variable for my study. (right now its just set up as
a prism with one face inclined 5 degrees.) please refer the attached
schematics for better understanding
I'm herewith attaching the code that i have written and the schematic
of what i want to simulate also the error message that i got when i
ran the simulation for your reference.
