11 ; Modify the default slots of the Contact Model Assignment Table
12 ; Here we choose the linear contact model (with kn=1e6) for all contact types
13 cmat default model linear property kn 1.0e6
14
15 ; Generate 30 balls in a box
16 wall generate box -5.0 5.0 onewall
17 set random 10001
18 ball generate radius 1.0 1.4 box -5.0 5.0 number 30

20 ; Assign ball density
21 ball attribute density 100.0

23 ; Activate gravity
24 set gravity 10.0

26 ;Save the initial state
27 save initial-state

29 ; Solve for a given time and save the model
30 solve time 10.0
31 save caseA-nodamping
32
33 ; Restore the initial state
34 restore initial-state
35
36 ; Modify the default slots of the Contact Model Assignement Table
37 ; Newly created contacts will use these settings
38 cmat default model linear property kn 1.0e6 ks 1.0e6 fric 0.25 dp_nratio 0.1
39 ; Apply the CMAT to existing contacts as well
40 ; Note that the contact model will be overridden (and therefore all previous
41 ; information will be lost)
