How to model particle-particle interaction in DPM
 

Hi All,
I am trying to model particle transport in DPM. I am also trying to consider the particle-particle interaction. I have enabled the DEM Collision from the physical model tab.After running the simulation I got an error message.

Updating solution at time levels N and N-1.
done.
Injecting 1016 particle parcels with mass 1e-25 at t = 0

DEM: Memory allocation for collision mesh failed.
Collision mesh width is very small which will give rise to a
huge collision mesh. Consider inspecting your injection setup.
Maybe the number in parcel is not what you want.


DPM Iteration ....

Error: Out of memory.

Error: Out of memory.
Error Object: #f

Can anyone help me out to fix this problem. I have also unchecked the adaptive collision mesh width and it enabled static collision mesh width. After changing that I didn't get that error message and the model can't inject particle. Here are the details:
Deleted 1016 particles in injection injection-0 with total mass 1.000000e-25 kg

Deleted 1016 particles in injection injection-0 during transient iteration

I am badly looking for some help. Thank you for your help in advance. Thanks a lot.

Have your problem been solved? Can you help me? I have the same problem.

Hi, have your problem been solved? I have the same problem, wait for your help.

This problem can be solved by increasing the injected mass-flow rate, such as 1e-25 -->1e-10.
