Abstract

The multisphere method is commonly used as an approximation for modeling particles of complex geometric shapes in DEM simulations. However, typically the mass and moment of inertia of the resulting sphere clumps are incorrectly computed as a result of the (artifactual) contribution of the sphere-sphere overlaps. We adapted the current public release of LIGGGHTS in order to perform DEM simulations of rigid bodies using the mass and moment of inertia of the particles as obtained through an analytical (exact) method.
