LIGGGHTS(1)

✨ NAME ✨

LIGGGHTS — bestie, it's an open source discrete element method particle simulation code 💖 like that's literally the whole vibe, it simulates particles, periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

liggghts < in.file

Yeah that's it. You just feed it a file on stdin and it goes. iconic ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so real talk, what does the acronym even mean? LIGGGHTS stands for LAMMPS improved for general granular and granular heat transfer simulations. Say that five times fast, I dare you 😭

And what's LAMMPS? It's a classical molecular dynamics simulator — super widely used in the field of Molecular Dynamics, like it's the main character of that whole scene 👑

So here's the slay: thanks to physical and algorithmic analogies (iykyk), LAMMPS is genuinely a very good platform for DEM simulations. LAMMPS offers a GRANULAR package to do these kinds of simulations. And LIGGGHTS? It aims to improve those capabilities with the goal of applying it to industrial applications. Leveling up the whole thing fr fr 🔥

Documentation lives at http://www.liggghts.com/ — go read it, it's giving very thorough 🫶

🙈 BUGS 🙈

Found a bug? Not me manifesting chaos 💀 Please report bugs to the special topic on the LIGGGHTS-forum:

They wanna hear from you, bestie, that's the whole point of the thread 🎀

and that's the tea, bestie 🍓 this was LIGGGHTS(1) from the General Commands Manual — no version stamp or date on this one, just the section 1 energy, mwah 💅 go simulate some particles, you got this 🧚✨
