Hi Rochun, Thank you so much for your reply. I have been trying to reduce the bin size in order to try to resolve the problem. However, I keep getting similar problems until I reach a point where I exceed the maximum number of bins allowed. I have tried to minimize my domain as well to help with minimizing bin size. I got to a point where my domain is reduced to the very minimum and my bin size is set to be the smallest possible without exceeding the maximum number allowed. However, I am still having the same problem. Ex: "Bin 7 contains 357 triangular mesh facets, exceeding maximum allowance (256)". I was wondering about what it would cost to increase either the maximum number of meshes contained by particles or the maximum number of bins of a simulation.
About the mesh size, I am trying to verify my implementation of the cohesion model I implemented using this paper (Discrete element modeling of planetary ice analogs: mechanical behavior upon sintering | SpringerLink <https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10035-021-01167-6>). In that paper, the cone has a small mesh (0.2mm) and the shaft has a larger mesh (2mm). However, the particle size is 2mm. Do you see any obvious problems with that? you mentioned that having a smaller mesh than the particles causes the forces calculations to be inaccurate. Could you please explain that a little more? Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ProjectChrono" group.
