Hi friends,
I'm trying to model a Fixed bed reactor whose particle are cylindrical in shape. I would like to use multisphere DEM approach to create packing. Can any of you suggest me about the best among the open source software: LIGGGHTS,YADE or ESys.
Through the Google I came to know that Multisphere approach of LIGGGHTS is available for commercial users. So I can't afford it
I would like to know whether I can use Multisphere approach in YADE or ESys software.
Any help will be of great appreciation
Hi,
YADE supports the multi-sphere (clmp) approach. Beside that it also has the possibility to model cylinder-like elements and polyhedra. There are no restrictions as they are in LIGGGHTS, everything is open-source :-)

Hi Phanindra, don't forget about http://woodem.org, it has 1st-class capsule-shaped particles, or multi-sphere particles, and all those can be generated following PSD distributions. See e.g. https://woodem.org/gallery/shapes.html#capsules .
