dataExchangeModel_twoWayFiles command

Syntax:

Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.

dataExchangeModel twoWayFiles;
twoWayFilesProps
{
    couplingFilename "filename";
    maxNumberOfParticles number;
}; 

• filename = filename of the VTK file series
• number = maximum number of particles in DEM simulation

Examples:

dataExchangeModel twoWayFiles;
twoWayFilesProps
{
    couplingFilename "vtk_out%4.4d.vtk";
    maxNumberOfParticles 30000;
} 

Description:

The data exchange model performs the data exchange between the DEM code and the CFD code. The twoWayFiles model is a model that can exchange particle properties from DEM to CFD and from CFD to DEM. Data is exchanged via files that are sequentially written/read by the codes.

Restrictions:

Developed only for two processors, one for DEM and one for CFD run.
